Itinerary

The first stop is Bonorong Wildlife Conservation Centre. Established in 1981 as a sanctuary for injured Tasmanian wildlife, the name ‘Bonorong’ is derived from an Aboriginal word meaning ‘native companion’.  Bonorong is committed to the conservation of Tasmania’s threatened species.   Conservation Volunteers Australia and Bonorong play a key role in the Tasmanian Devil Recovery Program. Join our expert Keeper for a behind the scenes look at this important conservation centre including the Tasmanian Devil, Eastern Quoll, Raptor care and other native wildlife species.  This is an informative and unforgettable experience providing special encounters with expert staff and native wildlife. You will also have some time to explore the conservation centre at your leisure to make the most of your wildlife experience and, some great photo opportunities.

After a relaxing picnic style lunch visit one of Tasmania’s oldest and most diverse National Parks, Mount Field.  The Park was the first National Park gazetted in Tasmania. From the tall forests at the base of the mountain to the unique alpine plants at its summit, this national park offers the visitor an array of natural wonders. Thirteen of the parks plant species are recorded as rare in Tasmania and the park provides natural habitat for a number or nationally endangered and vulnerable wildlife, including the barred bandicoots and Tasmanian Devil. Enjoy a leisurely scenic walk to Russell Falls passing through ferns and giant eucalypts before our journey back to Hobart city.
