- Visited forests in Tasmania's Central Highlands that are currently being logged or scheduled for logging as part of a Bob Brown Foundation Threatened Forest Open Day.
- The experience was sobering and sad, but also fascinating and beautiful, with rain throughout the day.
- Learned about what is happening to the forests and what is planned for logging during talks under a marquee.
- Observed huge trees with moss and lichen on trunks, difficult to see the tops, and thick ground cover with mossy stumps.
- Many of these forests are slated for logging, with clear-cut areas already visible next to untouched sections.
- Some trees are hundreds of years old, and the cleared blocks demonstrate their fate.
- Unexpected live music in the forest added to the experience, and the author recommends attending if possible.
