Abstract
Summary: Lake sediments dated to between about 28000 and 20000 years B.P. in the temperate rainforests of western Tasmania show that subalpine to alpine shrub, wet heath and herb communities occurred within 115 m of present sea level before the maximum of the last glaciation (20000 to 18000 years B.P.). The high herb, especially grass, values and charcoal content after about 22000 years B.P. may be related to the advent of aborigines.Keywords
