An old logging track in the Antactic Beech forest, above the Allyn River. A forest of silent antiquity from Gondwana past. The Barrington Tops Wilderness.

The Barrington Tops seems hardly a wilderness, being so small ... but the Barrington Tops is a wilderness and the streams running over the Mount Williams and Mount Carey escarpments are the headwaters of the Hunter River.

The ancient wet forests of the Allyn River are great places to visit ... if the leeches let you.

Cheers.

This Beech forest is a very dark temperate forest. Very little light makes it through the canopy to the forest floor.

Old forests like this take a long time to regenerate after they have been disturbed by loggers.

Marina, thank you. I'm pleased that you like the photograph.

This old forest is very beautiful. It is the only Beech forest on mainland Australia. In Autumn here, very few of our trees loose their leaves or change to spectacular colours. There is little benefit in shooting colour in these very dark forests ... black and white works well.
