Avisit to Bonorong Wildlife Sanctuary, because we can't go anywhere without me getting up close and personal with some animals (I was however disappointed to be told that I couldn't purchase a "feeding frenzy" excursion without 24 hours prior notice… oh well, next time!)
The kangaroos here were MUCH more aggressive friendly than we are used to.
He wanted to be sure I wasn't walking away with his snack.
the infamous Tasmanian Devil
From there we headed south east to Port Arthur and spent a few, chilly hours touring the world heritage site by land and sea. On the way we stopped to see the beauty of the Tasman Peninsula, and caught a few fun road signs too.

Wombat
Bettong?
Swan?
The next day, we got up early, and caught the ferry to Bruny Island where we spent the day hiking, and on a cruise in the Southern Ocean. It was, in a word, amazing.

It was a hard day to top, but we tried… next we trekked up to Launceston to see Cataract Gorge, and all the way up to the northern coast. We jumped in on a tour in Low Head on the Bass Strait and saw some fairy penguins!
