Sample 6(2):An Itinerary Drafted by a Travel Agency
Tasmania,Island oFInspiration The Devil You Don't Knom
Discover amazing wildlife in Tasmania's parks,forests,seas and skies.
Have you ever wanted to see nocturnal activities of the Tasmanian devil?Glimpse a timid duck-billed platypus or learn the truth and tragedy of the Tasmanian tiger?
The following suggested itinerary helps you locate some of our most exciting wildlife experiences.See little penguins,colonies of Australian fur seals,regal white-bellied sea eagles,shy echidnas,nocturnal quolls,devils,wallabies and wombats.
DAY 1—Launceston to St Helens
En route from Launceston to the East Coast(B81),take time out in Scottsdale to view quolls,echidnas,bettongs,platypuses,kangaroos and wallabies in the wild on a fourwheel-drive tour of the north-east.The seaside town of St Helens(A3)is the gateway to Mt William National Park,a remote and exquisitely beautiful region in the far northeast of the State.Large Forester kangaroos feed in the grasslands.This national park now protects the largest surviving population of Foresters,savagely culled by European settlers in the 19th century when clearing land for pasture.Joeys are in the pouch from late summer until early October.
Mt William is also a great place for dusk wombat-viewing,is home to approximately 100 bird species,and is a landfall for many Bass Strait migratory birds.Yellow-tailed black cockatoos and introduced kookaburras are sure to catch your attention with their noisy calls.
OVERNIGHT SUGGESTION:St Helens
DAY 2—St Helens to Bicheno
Bicheno,an attractive seaside town on the East Coast Escape touring route(A3),with lots of opportunities to get close to nature.(https://www.daowen.com)
Near Bicheno you can see Tasmanian devils,wombats and kangaroos and other fascinating mammals,birds and reptiles—some native,some not.

See dainty little penguins on a one-hour sunset tour.Alternatively,marvel at the wonderful marine life beneath the transparent hull of your vessel as it glides through the clear,sheltered waters of Bicheno's marine park and gulch.The trip lasts 45 minutes.Scuba-diving in the close-by marine reserve is also an option,to see seahorses and weedy dragons.
Bicheno and Coles Bay are both great bases for visiting the dazzling beaches and pink granite mountains of Freycinet National Park.The walk to Wineglass Bay is one of Tasmania's most scenic,but a marine wildlife cruise gives you an entirely different perspective on the beauty of this area.Dolphins may follow in your wake,Australian fur seals may perform for you,and if you are especially lucky,humpback and southern right whales may cross your path on their annual spring migration.
OVERNIGHT SUGGESTION:Bicheno or Coles Bay
DAY 3—Bicheno to Port Arthur
An optional day trip to Maria Island National Park is always memorable.Set aside a full day,as this is an excellent place for snorkelling,scuba diving(bring your own equipment),bird watching,rock-pool rambling and walking amid stunning scenery.Daily passenger ferries to the island depart from Triabunna and the Eastcoaster Resort at Louisville.

Maria Island is a haven for migratory birds and wildlife.Tasmanian native hens,Cape Barren geese,Forester kangaroos and Bennetts wallabies browse throughout the day on the plains surrounding the historic convict settlement of Darlington.Tasmanian pademelons abound,and eastern barred bandicoots can often be seen in the moonlight if you choose to camp on the island overnight.In the evocative words of Lonely Planet's Watching Wildlife Australia,“Ponds around the old convict settlement reverberate with the plunk of eastern banjo frogs and the distinctive call(ree-ree-ree-ree)of the brown tree frog.”
Back on mainland Tasmania,follow the coastline south(C320)to the Tasman Peninsula along to the Convict Trail touring route(A9).Sweeping beaches,grand,wavesculptured rock formations such as the Blowhole and Remarkable Cave and the curious fractured charm of the Tessellated Pavement are among the Peninsula's many natural attractions.Both wedge-tailed eagles and white-bellied sea eagles are regularly seen.The grim history of convict life at Port Arthur Historic Site,Australia's pre-eminent historic penal settlement,draws visitors from around the world to this stunning part of Tasmania.
Visibility in these temperate diving waters is so high that National Geographic magazine's top dive photographer,David Doubilet,has described Tasmania as having the most“accessible underwater wilderness in the world”.Cliffs that tower above the surface descend dramatically to the ocean floor,creating canyons and caves amid huge forests of giant kelp up to 30 meters(100 feet)high,home to sea dragons,handfish and seals.Take one of the options offered by local dive tour operators who have an intimate knowledge of the area and all the equipment you need.
Cruise the waters of the Tasman Peninsula and around Tasman Island,and view Australia's highest sea cliffs,majestic sea eagles and other varieties of sea birds.See hundreds of Australian fur seals and occasionally leopard and elephant seals.Perhaps be shadowed by a wandering albatross,the world's largest flying bird.

OVERNIGHT SUGGESTION:Port Arthur
DAY 4—Port Arthur
Today choose between bird-watching or viewing devils,golden possums,whitebellied sea eagles and a host of other fascinating wildlife the local wildlife park at Taranna.Consider spending an extra night on the Tasman Peninsula to experience all its history and beauty.
