Australian Geographic Travel

Embark on a seven-day birding and wildlife journey through southern Tasmania, exploring the remote Southwest Wilderness, Bruny Island, Maria Island and Hobart's nearby hotspots. Shaped by more than 10,000 years of isolation, Tasmania is home to 12 endemic bird species, including the forty-spotted pardalote, Tasmanian native-hen and green rosella as well as the critically endangered orange-bellied parrot. Along the way, you'll wander through buttongrass moorlands, tall wet forests, coastal heathland and sub-alpine habitat in search of island specialities, migratory waders and secretive scrub-birds. Nocturnal outings may reveal Tasmanian devils, eastern quolls and long-nosed potoroos, while Maria Island offers exceptional mammal viewing by day.
