Upper Florentine Valley

The Upper Florentine Valley is a valley in the south of Tasmania, Australia, recognised for its landscape and old growth forests. It lies along the Gordon River Road near Maydena in the southwest of the island, roughly three hours drive from Hobart, and comprises around 60 square kilometers (23 square miles) of temperate rainforest and tall eucalypt forest forming part of the Florentine catchment upstream of Churchill Creek. Geographically it is an area of generally low relief valleys and flats, and is known habitat for threatened species including the myrtle elbow orchid, grey goshawk, and spotted-tail quoll.
