Wombats and Tassies and Roos, oh my!

Today we saw land (!) in Hobart, Tasmania where we went to Mt. Fields National Park and a wildlife sanctuary where we saw the wombats, kangaroos and Tasmanian Devils.  We even saw the sun for most of the afternoon, which came as a welcome relief from the predicted rain showers.
Feeding the very tame and likely satiated kangaroos.

They like a good neck scratch, too.
This is a paddy melon in the wild, a relative of the wallaby.
That's a baby wombat, about 7 months old.  By the age of two the get cranky and need to be returned to the wild.

  1. The wildlife sanctuary looks really interesting. Glad you were able to have a nice "sunny" day for the adventure. Your eye is looking great!!
