Location:

Trowutta Arch is located in north-west Tasmania, within the lush Tarkine region. The trail begins just off Trowutta Road near the small community of Trowutta. This natural wonder is formed from a collapsed cave system, creating a striking archway that frames a deep green sinkhole lagoon — one of the most photogenic spots in the Tarkine.

More information:

Trowutta Arch is one of the most unique natural formations in Tasmania. The rainforest walk is peaceful and atmospheric, with dense vegetation and ancient myrtle trees creating a cool, shaded path. When you reach the arch, the sight is unforgettable — the perfectly framed sinkhole lake glows with deep green tones thanks to tannins, moss, and surrounding rainforest.

The area is quiet and often uncrowded, making it ideal for those seeking slower-paced nature experiences. Wallabies, pademelons, and native birdlife are commonly seen along the track. As part of the Tarkine, this spot highlights the region’s rich geology, rainforest beauty, and untouched wilderness.

A must-visit for photographers, rainforest lovers, and anyone exploring Tasmania’s north-west.
