Travel via Hobart's northern suburbs to the Bonorong Wildlife Sanctuary. Here, you'll observe such indigenous animals as Tasmanian devils, wombats, kangaroos and wallabies -- all allowed to roam freely in their natural habitats. Meet animals that have long been extinct in other parts of the world, including Tasmanian devils, Eastern quoll, Tasmanian bettong, and Tasmanian pademelon. You'll also have the chance to hand-feed kangaroos. The keepers are on hand to answer your questions.
Next, step back in time with a visit to the historic Georgian village of Richmond. Established in 1825, the village features cobblestone streets, and check out the buildings made of handmade brick and mellow stone, quaint cottages, and manors. On your walk, you'll admire the fine Georgian architecture -- the original courthouse, public buildings, churches, and the oldest bridge and jail in Australia. It's like combing the pages of history for an afternoon.

Shade is limited; to avoid sunburn, wear light, long clothing suitable for use as a cover-up. Bring a hat and sunglasses; wear biodegradable/reef-safe sunscreen. Bring bottled water.
