Road-Trip Introduction to Tassie, part 2

This is our one and only sighting of a Tasmanian Devil in the wild. It looks like a pretty young one, and it was a bit troubling that it zigzagged across the road several times before disappearing into the bush. Stay safe, little devil!

Road-Trip Introduction to Tassie, part 1

Before Aidan left Tasmania, we set out on an Easter Long Weekend Road trip around the state. We had only vague ideas about where we were going and what we wanted to see, and mostly just played it by ear, stopping at any little parks and walks to waterfalls (of which Tasmania has many) that we found along the way.

A helpful tourist-directing-sign pointed us to this dam/power station:

Not sure if this is exactly what tourists are coming to Tasmania to see...



Luckily there were also fluffy adorable bulls nearby.

And a Parrot in a Pear Tree

Josh's grandmother has a Bosc pear tree in her garden, and every year, before the pears are ripe enough for any person to want to eat, the little parrots pay her a visit and gobble them all up! And because they are so busy devouring delicious pears, they don't mind camera-toting individuals lurking around the tree as well.
