CORINNA WILDERNESS VILLAGE
It’s early morning. With a nudge, my kayak floats out onto the dark waters of the Pieman River. Ancient takayna/Tarkine rainforest hugs the banks with impenetrable deep greens. Mist blankets the tannin-stained waters ahead. The silence – it’s otherworldly. We berth our kayaks at the stairs and ascend into cool wilderness. takayna/Tarkine is a living and breathing connection to the ancient supercontinent Gondwana, and we can feel every bit of this. As Lovers Falls cascade down, I close my eyes and hear its rush with greater power. I breathe. Nature is in charge here. The present moment has arrived in all its simplicity and untouched goodness. It’s magical.
