Old Richmond and the Tasmanian devils


Friday we traveled to Old Richmond and the Bonorong Wildlife Park. Richmond is a quaint town where many of the homes were built by convicts.

At Bonorong Wildlife Park we encountered Tasmanian devils. The guide kept assuring us that they were not dangerous. The ugly animals kept making a fierce, piercing sound and showing their teeth. I wouldn't want to be in the same room with them!

Also, we not only saw kangaroos but were able to feed them. We saw some of the babies in their mother's pouches. Unlike the Tasmanian devils, they were adorable.

Koalas are very shy and cute. Our guide brought one of koalas out of the trees so that we could pet it.

Tomorrow we leave for Launceston. We have enjoyed staying in Hobart and are looking forward to the rest of our trip.
