It’s Wombat Wednesday and we thought we would share some of our experiences when we visit Bonorong Wildlife Sanctuary .
Isn’t this a face that makes your heart just melt? Dewey is the newest member of the @bonorong family.
Little Dewey is a 6-7 month old bear-nosed wombat. Dewey was found wandering on the side of the road without his mum.
His love language is cuddles. He leaves the comfort of his blankets whenever someone walks by, thinking it’s time for a cuddle from the keepers.
You can meet little Dewey and the other members of the family yourself if you do a tour with @

Our tours to Russell Falls are always a favorite among our guests. Highlights include a morning tea stop at the Salmon Ponds where you can enjoy pancakes and a warm beverage. After this we do a gentle walk around the various ponds to admire the large salmon and trout & maybe even spot the resident platypus. Lately we have been fortunate enough to spot him playing in the water with the fish. Upon arriving at Mt Field National Park you will feel as if you've entered a new world of adventure, surrounded by towering trees, flowing water, and lush greenery. This time of year the mushrooms are popping up everywhere adding an extra element of excitement to your visit. We’ll introduce you to the thrill of mushroom hunting. The recent rainfall has made the waterfalls even more spectacular. It truly is an incredible day. Our Russell Falls tour departs on Tuesdays and Thursdays. If you’re interested in a great day out be sure to add this tour to your itinerary when visiting Hobart.Experience Tasmania will be delighted to take you on a memorable journey. Thank you, Crystal and Perry, for allowing us to share your experience with everyone. #russelfallstour #experience_tasmania_grayline #tasmania #hobartandbeyond #travel_tasmania #nevermissanopportunity
We had an incredible encounter today during our Russell Falls tour when we saw a Lyrebird.
Lyrebirds were introduced to Tasmania in the 1930s and 1940s due to concerns that the species might go extinct on the mainland because of habitat clearing, cats, and especially foxes.
An interesting study conducted in the late 1980s revealed that Lyrebirds in Tasmania were still repeating bird calls from mainland species that don't occur in Tasmania, even after 50 years.
This is because young males learn these calls from the adults, so the calls of the original introduced birds have been passed down through the years. As a result, the calls of endemic Tasmanian bird species are now mixed in with those of mainland species.
Isn’t that fascinating?

Platypus Encounter
We've been incredibly fortunate during our Russell Falls Tour, especially when we make a stop at the Salmon Ponds and catch a glimpse of this delightful platypus.
Just imagine the bliss of living life like a platypus, leisurely swimming all day long without a care in the world?!
That's exactly what this little guy gets to experience at the Salmon Ponds.
