It’s that time of year again to turn to thoughts of the next, and here a trio of photographers specialising in Tasmania’s wilderness have combined their talents to produce a magnificent calendar.
The month-at-a glance large format gives enough space to keep track of important dates, while each month’s photograph is a reminder of what you’re missing when not out bush-walking.
Enjoy, however, even at a distance, because each photograph is a gem and covers subjects as delicate as wildflowers in the Heemskirk Range or as striking as the panorama from North Sister down to the headwaters of the Scamander River, as eerie as mist wreathing the rainforest canopy above Dove River or as bold as the upthrust of South Cape in the Southwest National Park.

A mini calendar but none the less enchanting for its smaller size.
Photographer Rob Blakers has produced another inimitable tribute to the wilder parts of our island. In some places this fragile beauty is disappearing — for example, September shows lush green tree ferns in the Upper Florentine Valley that the caption notes have now been destroyed by forestry operations.
But luckily for our heritage, the remaining months (turn each page for a month at a glance) reveal the timeless grandeur of other scenic spots — the red-gold of rocks at sunset in Freycinet National Park, towering sunlit myrtles in Granite Tor in the western wilderness, and the golden glow of deciduous beech at Cradle Mountain.

In the experience of many of us, friends and relatives who come to visit and to explore Tasmania leave our shores with a common complaint — “we wish we’d allowed more time here.”
This diary, richly illustrated with Rob Blakers’ superb landscape photography (plus a portrait by Grant Dixon of a moulting King Penguin — looking for all the world as if it is wearing a handknitted sweater with an occasional trim of artificial fur), will give them further insight into what they are missing and underline to Tassie dwellers that we live in the best place of all.
In other words, it’s a neat little end-of-year gift for others and a must-buy for yourself.
A week-per-page gives a deal of room for notes, appointments, telephone numbers etc and most weeks come opposite an enticing photograph to spirit you away from the workaday world to remote and wonderful places.
Interlaced throughout the diary are double-page spreads that allow the photograph in question to present the greatest drama.
