I posted so many pictures from Tasmania, it put this text onto the “prior listing” page immediately. Therefore, I’m adding some text and moving it to the top of the Tasmania items.
We spent today in Burnie, Tasmania. Our main trip was to a wildlife preserve. It was privately owned by a farmer, so we were able to get in with many of the animals (ie the ones that would not bite you).
We have lots of pictures, so we’ve posted more than the usual amount below. We got to pet wombats (including a baby), koalas, and kangaroos (including a baby). The baby kangaroo was only 4 month old, so the farmer had just pulled him out of the pouch for the first time. When he put the baby back down, it only took it a few seconds before it dove back into its mom’s pouch.
We drove past several opium fields. It is grown legally (under tight controls) for production of legal morphine for the medical profession.
Burnie is a small town of only 21,000 people. All of Tasmania has only half a million people.
As our ship was ready to leave port, the town had a bagpipe and drum core play for us to see us off.
