Peter Dombrovskis - Myrtle Tree

Myrtle tree in rainforest at Mount Anne, southwest Tasmania

Mist envelopes ancient, cool temperate rainforest in Tasmania’s World Heritage Wilderness. Shaped by wind and stunted by altitude and cold this twisted myrtle would be centuries old.

Mt. Anne is the highest mountain in Tasmania’s south west. It is composed of dolerite with a substructure of dolomite. The regions of dolomite contain an extensive cave system, including Anna-a-Kananda cave which is one of the deepest in Australia. The region is the fragile home of many endemic species of alpine flora. The south west hosts strands of ancient Huon pine, forests of sassafras, myrtle, celery-top pine and leatherwood. Numerous species of mosses and lichen detail the temperate rain forests and button grass dominates areas of alpine heath.

Pigment ink print on archival Canson Platine fibre rag paper, 100% cotton.

The images by Peter Dombrovskis have been through an exhaustive remastering process. The high resolution scans from the National Library have been painstakingly retouched to remove embedded dust and scratches. To ensure accurate colour rendition, they have been referenced against publications that Peter was proud of and the prints have been checked and approved by Liz Dombrovskis. The images are printed with pigment ink on Canson Platine Fibre Rag, a 100% cotton rag archival paper. These prints will last over 100 years and are amongst the most archival processes currently available. Remastered by fine art printer, Simon Olding, exclusively for Wild Island Tasmania.
