Tasmania A to Z

Usually I’m trying to make a narrative or explore a theme with photo galleries, but this is just a ramble through our Tasmania snaps now that we’re looking back a good week or so.

$B is for Bennet\'s Wallaby, one of four different hoppity critters to spot on Tasmania$

$D is for Devil! The most iconic Tasmanian animal and in the dictionary as the definition of \'ugly-cute\'$

$I can\'t stop at just one photo of the chunky little weirdos$

$E is for Ewwwww! This is a canary worm. It is a carnivorous worm. Don\'t worry, it doesn\'t eat people.$

$F is for Fairy-wren. This is the Superb Fairy-wren, and it\'s not hard to see why - that blue is unforgettable$

$K is for Kitchen. Do I have what it takes to be a celebrity chef? Leave aside that I\'m neither a celebrity nor a chef...$

$L is for Leaf on the path, symbol of autumn. Of course the native leaves of Tasmania don\'t go red, only the European imports$

$P is for Tasmania\'s own Pademelon, found all over the island at dusk and endearingly sweet$

$Q is for Spotted-Tailed Quoll, sadly the only wild one I could photograph. So many animals end up dead on Tasmania\'s roads, it has been quipped that you could run a wildlife tour with a glass-bottomed bus$
