Tasmania


Traveling friends-Dana, Steven, Lillian, and our wonderful hosts, Els and Bill

A friendly pademelon at Mt. Field Park.
A very close look at a nearby Platypus delighted everyone!
This endemic Pink Robin brightened the forest floor.
Jelly fungus on a decaying log.
This was the devilishly handsome Tasmanian Devil we observed. We traveled up to the northwest coast near Marrawah to see these increasingly rare animals threatened by a contagious facial cancer. Devils are most active after sunset.
This devil is eating a road-killed wallaby, which has been put out to attract this hungry beast.
