IF YOU recently saw a lobster riding along the highway, your eyes didn’t deceive you.

Inspirational Gaby Jung, 72, recently rode her electric tricycle 540km’s around Tasmania to create awareness about the ancient takayna/Tarkine rainforests and the vulnerable status of its inhabitants.

Gaby was accompanied by a support van driver Lizzie and Tim a photographer.

Starting in Hobart, the trio visited Orford, Swansea, Cressy, Bracknell, Deloraine and the Northwest, before ending their travels at the Tarkine on 23rd November.
