ABC - Artists inspired by the Tarkine region
The ABC website has a story covering the Tarkine in Motion project.
"A group of 70 artists have spent their Easter break exploring a remote part of north-west Tasmania and creating works they hope will lead to the area's protection."
"The conservationists know they are in for a long fight, but they believe gaining the support for a national park is possible by 2020."
Help us take Tarkine in Motion to the world
Our Foundation has launched a Pozible campaign to crowd-fund Tarkine in Motion. Visit pozible.com/tarkineinmotion to pledge your financial support for this unique project.
In April 2015, 60 photographers, filmmakers, musicians and artists will journey into the Tarkine to document its wild, scenic beauty as never before – producing a stunning 30-minute documentary portrait of this threatened wilderness.
Curated by Dan Broun and the Bob Brown Foundation, Tarkine In Motion is a multi-platform project that will culminate in a film & exhibition of art created in the heart of Tarkine, one of the last great wilderness areas on the planet.
With your support, this project will help protect the Tarkine by capturing, celebrating and sharing its unique landscapes with the world.
The Bob Brown Foundation is campaigning to have 450,000 hectares of the Tarkine declared a national park and World Heritage Area so that future generations can enjoy the Tarkine’s outstanding natural and cultural heritage.

Tarkine tales - passion & protest
Tickets available online or at the door on the night.
Bob Brown states “I first ventured into the Tarkine region in 1972 to search for the Tasmanian tiger, thought to be extinct since 1936. There had been alleged sightings in the Tarkine, I was very sceptical but that trip took me right into the Tarkine, and down the coastline, and I saw the rainforest and the pristine rivers and the wildlife…and that has stayed with me these last 40 years.”
Lawless posses rule the Wild West
An article by Geoff Coles in The Mercury.
The decision of the Federal Government to put a halt to the State Government’s redneck plan to reopen all off-road vehicle tracks in the Arthur-Pieman is the right thing to do.
The State Government has ignored decades of planning, research and consultation in an effort to appease a politically astute coalition of self-interest groups that have been in their ear for years.
