I was chilled to the bone as wind howled over the plains and thick fog enveloped the Vale, a relatively unknown strip of land which is largely overshadowed by Tassie’s better known landscapes. The Vale of Balvoir was used as grazing land over the last century but has now been reserved for the conservation of unique grasslands, old-growth rainforest and at-risk species like the Tasmanian Devil and spotted-tail Quoll.
