The Tarn Shelf - a photo on Flickriver

The Tarn Shelf

             Looking northward along the Tarn Shelf, Mt. Field National Park. Tasmania. MacKenzie Tarn in the foreground with Johnson Tarn beyond it. The Rodway Range escarpment running through the left side of the frame. The Tarn Shelf is around 1200m in altitude with the glaciated Jurassic Dolerite of the bedrock in plain view.

Obviously a perfect blue sky day for a walk among the sub-alpine rocks and water holes and snapping away at the clumps of gorgeous, orange 'Fagus' in its Autumn glory.

Fagus or Nothofagus gunnii is endemic to Tasmania. It is limited to isolated pockets in selected sub-alpine areas of the island. It is a beautiful tree with gorgeous green to yellow to orange to red leaves when they turn.

As a remnant Gondwana species, it is our only deciduous, native tree and is often called Deciduous Beech (as such it is). It's sometimes also called Tanglefoot for its interlocking branches. It can grow to be quite a tall plant in the right conditions.

It is very precious and not at all tolerant of fire despite it's high altitude-bred hardiness.
