The sinkhole in the Dismal Swamp is 624 hectares in area and 40 meters deep. This area has been formed over thousands of years as acidic runoff right from the volcanic regions dissolved in the grounds here.
The marine sediments under its surface area ensure that the swamp hole doesn't get deeper than it already is. All the volcanic sediments and dolomite sediments made the ground and the surface below it extremely sturdy to walk over it as well.

The story behind the Tarkine Forest Adventures at Dismal Swamp is an extremely interesting one! Back in the 1960s and 70s, the current Dismal Swamp area was to be cleared up for agricultural use. Wes Beckett, a man from the local area, decided to campaign against this and create a petition to conserve the swamp area. After years of campaigning, he was successful and was offered 310 hectares of Dismal Swamp!

There are constant talks about expanding this area and making the swamp bigger with more flora and fauna growing here. It is has become a huge tourist attraction in the country as well as internationally. The trees, flowers and even insects and reptiles here are one of a kind and definitely a treat to the eyes!
