Intrepid Travel Announces New Tasmania Adventure Travel

    BOULDER, CO, September 25, 2008 /24-7PressRelease/ -- Go down under with Intrepid Travel and explore the unseen regions of Tasmania. Intrepid Travel is announcing two new trips that will take passengers into the heart of the Tarkine rainforest to catch a glimpse of Tasmania's untouched beauty.

It has been said that a sojourn in Tasmania's rainforest can add years to one's life. The purity of the elements is the result of wilderness largely unchanged for millions of years. The Tarkine rainforest has remained almost unknown to the outside world and conceals many unexplored valleys and wile rivers. Travelers on Intrepid's Tasmania's Tarkine Wilderness Adventure will discover ancient myrtle trees, and relics from the Gondwana supercontinent. They will drink from the purest freshwater creeks, tackle horizontal tree systems, discover secret waterfalls and will witness the neon phenomenon of nocturnal glow worms at work. They might even get a glimpse of the elusive freshwater crayfish or platypus on this Tasmanian adventure.
