 Discovering Tasmania
The island of Tasmania is separated from mainland Australia by the Bass Strait.
The island is a place of natural beauty and has more than 2000 km of walking tracks and
18 national parks. If you go on a tour, you’ll discover a wild and beautiful place where
the people are friendly and the food is delicious. If you don’t like walking, there are
other tours you can choose from including a river cruise and cycling. You can also
combine your tour with fishing, sailing or sunbathing on the beach.

One of the most incredible places to walk is along the Tarkine coast which is located in
the north-west of Tasmania. It’s such a wild and remote area that you can easily
complete your walk without seeing anyone apart from the members of your group and
your two guides. The area contains the largest temperate rainforest in Australia which is
home to more than 50 endangered species. It is also home to many Aboriginal Heritage
Sites. Your guides will provide you with plenty of information about the area as you
complete that part of your tour. During your tour, you’ll come across rivers, mountain
ranges, spectacular waterfalls, and wildlife and long wild beaches. It will be an
experience you won’t easily forget.

Tour Itinerary:
Day 1:
You’re picked up from your hotel in the town of Launceston and driven to the Tarkine.
You then complete a three-hour walk through the forest before arriving at your camp at
Mystery Creek. There you will enjoy a delicious meal cooked by your guides.

Day 2:
After breakfast, you continue deeper into the rainforest, passing some of the tallest trees
in the world as you go, and stopping for lunch and then camp in the evening.

Day 3:
The highlight of today’s trek is the Tarkine Falls, a beautiful 15 metre waterfall.

Day 4:
Today you can stay at the camp and bathe in the Tarkine Falls, or you can go for a day
trek for more fantastic views of the forest.

Day 5:
After a last trek through the forest, you are picked up at about 4.00 p.m. and you arrive in
Launceston at around 7 p.m. The tour includes two professional guides, transport to and
from the rainforest, all food while on the tours and all safety equipment. You should buy
or hire recommended camping equipment including: backpacks, sleeping bags, sleep
mats, head torches, rain coats and trousers.

Questions 16-20
Read the text and questions below.
For each question, blacken the correct letter A, B, C or D on your answer sheet.

A month ago I had no idea that on a Saturday afternoon in November I’d be hanging 30
metres above the ground and enjoying it. Now I looked down at the river far below me,
and realised why people love rock-climbing.
My friend Matt and I had arrived at the Activity Centre on Friday evening. The
accommodation wasn’t wonderful, but we had everything we needed (beds, blankets,
food), and we were pleased to be out of the city and in the fresh air.
On Saturday morning we met the other ten members of our group. Cameron had come
along with two friends, Kevin and Simon, while sisters Carole and Lynn had come with
Amanda. We had come from various places and none of us knew the area.
We knew we were going to spend the weekend outdoors, but none of us was sure exactly
how. Half of us spent the morning caving while the others went rock- climbing and then
we changed at lunchtime. Matt and I went to the caves first. Climbing out was harder
than going in, but after a good deal of pushing, we were out at last - covered in mud but
pleased and excited by what we’d done.
