Great Western Woodlands

The largest remaining temperate woodland on Earth. The Great Western Woodlands are little known locally, but are internationally recognised as one of the most biologically significant and intact regions left on Earth. At twice the size of Tasmania, it is considered by many as ‘Australia’s Serengeti’ because of the diversity of life that occur within its boundaries.
