Where are the worlds best hardwood forests?

I have been to some in Victoria, WA and north of Auckland, NZ.

All very good.

I think there's some good ones in Tassie also, but they are slowly being closed down. If we are not careful we will have to start making our newspapers out of pine.

People who can't distinguish between etymology and entomology bug me in ways I cannot put into words.

I have seen Her. She is lovely.
I did not like the iron spikes hammered into her and so did not climb her.

The Ada Tree was impressive.

............The Tarkine contains extensive high-quality wilderness as well as extensive, largely undisturbed tracts of cool temperate rainforest which are extremely rare.[19][20]
It also represents Australia's largest remaining single tract of temperate rainforest.[1]
It contains approximately 1,800 kmē of rainforest, around 400 kmē of eucalypt forest and a mosaic of other vegetation communities, including dry sclerophyll forest, woodland, buttongrass moorland, sandy littoral communities, wetlands, grassland and Sphagnum communities. Significantly, it has a high diversity of non-vascular plants (mosses, liverworts and lichens) including at least 151 species of liverworts and 92 species of mosses.
Its range of vertebrate fauna include 28 terrestrial mammals, 111 land and freshwater birds, 11 reptiles, 8 frogs and 13 freshwater fish.
The Tarkine provides habitat for over 60 rare, threatened and endangered species of flora and fauna.[1]
