Title: Gondwana Land
Photographer: Daniel van Duinkerken
Description: A lone Tree Fern (Dicksonia antarctica) towers over a small creek in Northeastern Tasmania. Growing very slowly and possibly hundreds of years old, these tree ferns feel like relics of the past. It feels as if a T-rex could come walking through any moment, as if the continents were still fused as the supercontinent Gondwana, when Tree ferns first evolved.
Here in Northeastern Tasmania there are stunning temperate rainforests known as glacial refugia. These ancient forests have survived the last ice age and are incredibly important to maintain biodiversity and for the survival of species during climatic extremes. This small creek is also home to the Tasmanian Giant Freshwater Lobster (Astacoupsis gouldi). Endemic to northern Tasmania and listed as vulnerable to extinction, these large crustaceans are endangered by habitat loss and climate change.
Unfortunately this part of the creek is surrounded by logged areas, risking it to become an inhospitable home to the Tasmanian Giant Freshwater Lobster.
