Emu Valley Rhododendron Garden is a remarkable private garden with a 40+ year history, built and operated by volunteers in the northwest of Tasmania. The 11-hectare property is located just 8km south of Burnie off the Ridgley Highway, and features over 24,000 select rhododendrons and companion plants from around the world. A spectacular display of blooms can be seen between late August and November, and striking Autumn foliage colours from March to May. The tranquillity of this lush environment can be enjoyed year-round, with three pristine mirror-like lakes and expansive views from our strategically placed pavilions. The birdsong from diverse bird life and encounters with native fauna such as platypus and echidna are another unique aspect. In addition to the unique hybrid rhododendrons cultivated by our members, we conserve many wild species of rhododendrons growing in geographically defined areas of the garden, that reflect the plant's origins - from Asia, across the Himalayas to China, Japan and North America. Our newly renovated Licensed Cafe provides meals and refreshments, with BYO picnics being welcome.

Wings Wildlife Park is a multi-award winning family owned business and displays the largest collection of Tasmanian wildlife in Australia. We're less than a one-hour drive from the Spirit of Tasmania ferry terminal in Devonport. Situated in Gunns Plains, 23 km south of Ulverstone, in the beautiful northwest of Tasmania, on the banks of the Leven River. Your visit to Tasmania is not complete unless you get to see some real live Tassie devils up close. Our devil feed is at 1300 daily, koala presentation at 1100 and 1430, meerkats at 1130 and 1500 and reptiles at 1400. You can feed the trout and the friendly kangaroos. Other animals you can see at the park include wombats, wallabies, quolls, sugar-gliders, wedge-tail eagles, reptiles, meerkats, marmosets, monkeys, bison, camels and much more. Most native animals at Wing's Wildlife Park have been rescued following injury and are released into their natural habitat when rehabilitated. Those unable to be released stay in our care for the remainder of their lives. Group bookings, guided tours, encounters, catering, camping and backpacker accommodation are available. Wing's Wildlife Park has a cafe which you can access separately to the wildlife park. It is open for lunch, snacks, drinks and ice-creams. You can browse in our gift shop and find that treasured souvenir.
