Read about Port Davey, Tasmania
Port Davey is an inlet on the south west coast of Tasmania. It lies next to Bathurst Harbour and is sheltered from the Roaring Forties that buffet the south and west coasts of Tasmania. It lies within the Melaleuca to Birchs Inlet Important Bird Area.[1] It is not populated, but has over time had a number of reclusive inhabitants. It is the penultimate waypoint on the western part of the South Coast Walking Track - also known as South Coast and Port Davey Tracks.
The Port Davey Marine Reserve lies within the Southwest National Park and the Tasmanian Wilderness World Heritage Area. Encompassing Port Davey, Bathurst Channel and Bathurst Harbour, the reserve (17, 753 hectares / 178 square kilometres) extends inland for more than 20km to the north and east, up to the high water mark of all rivers, bays and estuaries. More than 500 species of marine invertebrates (animals without backbones) have been recorded, with many still to be described. Some, such as anemones and zoanthids, bear more resemblance to flowers than animals. Most do not move, anchoring themselves firmly to the seafloor or channel walls, where they feed on other marine animals, or filter-feed plankton and nutrients from the swiftly flowing passing current. There are single animals, like sea urchins and seastars, and colonial animals, which look like one animal, but are in fact hundreds of tiny animals living together. There is safety and efficiency in living as a colony. Each animal within a colony has a particular function – some gather food, some strengthen the colony and others even clean the colony! Many of the marine invertebrates found in Bathurst Channel are usually found in much deeper and often inaccessible ocean waters. |
