Tassie has such a range of beautiful animals, and even in Winter we saw plenty on the sides of roads, at campsites, in the bush - even in the car park at Wineglass Bay :)
It was really lovely to have little pademelons hopping around our campsites at night.
Something we noticed in Tassie that we don't have here on the Mainland, is that the roads have variable speed limits at night time. And I think it is such a great idea. Driving at night can be pretty dangerous, and by slowing down by 20 - 40km/h, you can increase your chance of seeing an animal with time to stop by 50%.
These signs look like this:
On our Tassie trip, we saw:
15 x wallabies
1 x eagle
8 x pelicans
3 x rabbits
40 x black swans
41 x pademelons
1 x Tassie devil
2 x Eastern quolls
4 x kangaroos
18 x yellow tailed black cockatoos
4 x possums
Sealions (unsure how many)
We also saw a whole heap of kangaroos at Bonorong Wildlife Sanctuary, along with many other wild animals being rehabilitated.
Such a stunning place with such gorgeous wildlife :)
