Tasmania is home to some of the deepest and longest cave systems in the world. When brightly lit, this huge complex of dolomite caves at the southern most tip of Tasmania shines a golden brown and glistens with its countless delicate stalactites. Hastings is also home to a natural hot spring that warms the nearby rivers year-round to 280C. We were inspired by the golden brown and honey tones this natural wonder possesses and wanted to illustrate its beautiful luster. This ink shades from faintest yellow to dark amber, with greenish edging sheens and light silver shimmer.

Van Dieman’s Wilderness Series is ten fountain pen inks inspired by the majestic, beautiful and ofttimes humbling wonders that await in the Tasmanian wilds. As an extension of our original Van Dieman’s Colors Tasmania, and as a series unto itself, we created the Wilderness Series to encapsulate the natural colors of this awe-inspiring and untouched southern land.
