Tasmanian Arboretum at Eugenana
Situated in the undulating hills and countryside of Eugenana, the Tasmanian Arboretum holds some 2400 trees have been planted by volunteers at this 58 hectare site, which displays some of the astonishing wealth of Tasmanian endemic trees. And that's just for starters. Their ponds have duck billed platypus. Unlike the ones in zoos and other parks, wild platypus make it difficult to get a good look. However, I did manage to get a few quick glimpses when they came to the surface to breathe.

Narawntapu National Park
Short trip to the National park near dusk. The pictures say it all. Well, except the part about almost being bowled over by a hungry wombat. They are like really fast tree stumps with legs.
