Tasmania's Rain Forest

Tasmania's Rain Forest
Temperate rain forest blankets southwest Tasmania. This region is home to the Huon pine, which grows very slowly but lives for an extraordinarily long time. Surviving specimens of Huon pine are more than 2,000 years old. Today much of Tasmania's rain forest is protected in national parks.
