| Tasmania’s eucalypt forests have the highest diversity of plants and animals of all of Tasmania’s habitats and they occur from the sandy soils of the coast to the snowy alpine peaks. Half the eucalypt species on this island are found nowhere else in the world. |

Eucalypt Canopy The forest canopy can tower up to 90m above the forest floor and is home to the world’s tallest hardwood tree and flowering plant - the Mountain Ash or Eucalyptus regnans. Some of these trees have been standing since Abel Tasman sighted the island in 1642. It is in these ancient branches that the Tasmanian wedge-tailed eagle nests. |
