Watch until the end for my favourite view 🤯 The w Watch until the end for my favourite view 🤯 The wildlife in Tasmania is on another level! We spent 3 weeks camping and road tripping across the state and we were lucky to see almost every Australian animal! 🦘 From the rare white wallaby, elusive platypus, baby wombat to curious bandicoots and 2 Tasmanian devils - huge bucket list tick ✅ ⚠️Just remember a lot of these animals are quite curious & will literally walk under your feet! Make sure you never touch them, chase them & when you can, keep at least 5 metres away (use your phone zoom like I did for most of these shots)! Best places to see: 👉🏼Wombats - Cradle Mountain/ Maria Island 👉🏼White Wallaby - Bruny Island 👉🏼Tasmanian Devils - Maria Island/Devils@Cradle Which one is your favourite? 🥹 #seeaustralia #tasmania #discovertasmania #australianwildlife
