Indonesia’s wildly diverse eco-systems harbour an incredible variety of animals. Orangutans are the stars of the show at Camp Leakey.
A long hairy arm extends over my shoulder, fingers tickle my torso. I reach around to hold her hand behind my back, like we’re canoodling at the cinema hoping no one will notice. She turns to me and smiles. Her mouth is full of stinky sweet durian and her lower lip protrudes comically.

The Tarkine Wilderness in Tasmania shouldn’t be such a secret a location.
Having walked, or stumbled, the length of the Overland Track, explored the furthest reaches of Mount Field and Freycinet National Parks, clambered over, but mostly around, peaks throughout the island state, I reckoned I knew a fair bit about Tasmania’s unique environmental wonders. I was astonished however to discover how little I knew about this part of wild Tasmania.
