Since we saw a lot of wildlife in Tasmania and Melbourne I’m making a summary about it. Let’s see.
TASMANIA
WALLABY
Wallabies are small size of Kangaroos found in Australia. They appeared to be active in the evening.
We met the cute wallaby at Cradle Mountain Lodge. (Related Post:Five days Travel Tasmania (4/5), Cradle Mountain)
@ Freycinet National Park(Related Post:Five days Travel Tasmania (2/5), Richmond-Ross-Winglass Bay)
WOMBAT
Wombats are native to Australia. The size is about 1m. They looks not fearing people because when I got close to them they did not escape but rather, they kept eating grasses..

Tasmanian Devil
Tasmanian Devil is now found in the wild only at the island state of Tasmania. We could not find them when we walked around Cradle Mountain area. The photo below was taken at Devils@Cradle.

QUOLL
The quoll is native to Australia and New guinea. They looked small and cute but I heard that they eat smaller mammals, small birds etc. You can find quolls at Devils@Cradle.

I wanted to see Echidna in Cradle Mountain however unfortunately I couldn’t.. I hope I can get to Tasmania again in the future and see Echidnas.
MELBOURNE
KOALA
We could find wild Koalas at Kennett Rive located along the Great Ocean Load. It won’t take long time, just we stopped by a car park then took a walk on a road there.

POSSUM (maybe)
Possum is native to Australia. It is said that they are active at night. We could not see their face during this travel. I believe the below photo got the possum.

SHEEP
While driving in Tasmania you will see sheep, horses everywhere.
ROAD SIGNS
There are a lot of road signs in Tasmania about wildlife. The below sign was my favorite one.
We of course follow the message once we find it!
In summary, let’s try to find wildlife wherever you visit Australia!
