| Mount Rugby viewed across Melaleuca Lagoon |
I was able to stay at Melaleuca in the remote SW of Tasmania
for nearly an entire month. We were
volunteering for the Parks and Wildlife Service as well as spending a week
hiking out to the SW Cape. What a magic
month! We had a bit of everything for
weather (it was March, still summer) and the wildlife was the real
highlight. Here follows our species list
for the time we were there and hiking the south coast.
