What you will visit:

Bonorong Wildlife Sanctuary

Derived from an Aboriginal word that means "native companion," Bonorong is a wildlife sanctuary, home to some of Australia's most famous natives, such as Tasmanian devils and wombats, along with kangaroos and wallabies. Just 30 minutes outside of Hobart, this wildlife sanctuary is run by a dedicated staff committed to returning healthy animals to back into the wild. For over 20 years, the sanctuary has promoted its mission of reducing rates of extinction by raising community awareness. Bonorong allows many of the animals in its care to roam freely in natural habitats, including Forester kangaroos, which respond to hand feeding. Knowledgeable naturalist guides are on hand to answer questions and to assist with animal interactions.

Mt. Field National Park

The natural paradise of Mt. Field National Park, a UNESCO World Heritage Site, is best appreciated on walk along well travelled trails that take you under the world's tallest hardwood trees. Continue deeper into the Tasmanian rainforest, reaching the spectacular Russell Falls. Before departing, you'll have time to browse the Interpretation Center and visit the well-stocked gift shop.
