Naturalist Simon Grove invites you to join him on a life-affirming journey of discovery that explores Tasmania’s remarkable natural world, through its forests, among its mountains, around its shores and across its unfolding seasons. Walk (or swim!) alongside him as he guides you through a delightful series of nature encounters that speak to Tasmania’s sense of separateness, of history, and of Deep Time.

Thoughtful, quirky, confiding and evocative, Simon’s prose reminds us that immersion in nature is pivotal for our wellbeing, and the natural world key to our survival. 

“This fascinating book shines in every detail and is compelling at every level.”
