Description

The Tarkine is a remote area of north west Tasmania, Australia, which environmental non-government organisations (ENGOs) claim contains significant areas of wilderness. The Tarkine is noted for its beauty and natural values, containing the largest area of Gondwanan cool-temperate rainforest in Australia, as well as for its prominence in Tasmania's early mining history. The area's high concentration of Aboriginal sites has led to it being described by the Australian Heritage Council as "one of the world's great archaeological regions". Legal Melbourne street art. Please zoom.

Shame that they decided to scrawl their message across someone else's art rather than put it up somewhere by itself. It makes one question the values of the scrawler. Nice photo though!

I gather Tasmania has had a rather sad past in history. Top Shot!

Hi Wayne. Adding one's art on top of someones else's is actively encouraged in this precinct. The resulting collage is what tourists from all around the world come to see. In no way does it denegrate the original artist's work. Andrew
