Chris
Crerar

13 years ago, after realising he was boring friends senseless banging on about Tasmania, Chris returned to his island home and hasn’t looked back. As a photographer and writer with a great love of Tasmania’s wild places, Chris has plenty of material on the island to keep him busy. Chris’ work focuses on Tasmania’s people, it’s incredible food and wine, sustainability issues and travel in Tasmania and further afield. When he’s away from work Chris can often found on the beautiful D’Entrecasteaux Channel sailing his little vintage yacht or hiking somewhere in the mountains. See more of Chris' work at chriscrerar.com.au on on social media at @chris_crerar_pw.

Great southern land

by Lucinda Sharp
18 Jun 2021

I stood on a rock high on a hill and looked down at a panorama of sea, grassland and forest. I was in the Port Davey Marine Reserve, deep in the Southwest National Park. Looking back at me, I thought, was the soul of Tasmania. I had flown in by light plane the previous day. You come here by plane or by boat. This is a soul protected by the law of man and the lie of land. There is no other way in.

We pay our respects to the Tasmanian Aboriginal people as the traditional and original owners and continuing custodians of lutruwita, and acknowledge elders past and present.
