Russell Falls with Bonorong Wildlife Sanctuary

This tour has all the inclusions of Tour 780 but with added experience of an up-close animal encounter at Bonorong Wildlife Park.  We begin the day following the Derwent River into the beautiful Derwent Valley before arriving at New Norfolk - the heartof this valley of tiny towns and agriculture. Passing through the hop fields of Bushy Park we visit the Salmon Ponds. Set amidst historic surrounds within original and stunning English parklands, this is the oldest trout hatchery in the Southern Hemisphere (est.1864). Enjoy a complimentary morning tea, perhaps feed the trout and salmon and visit the museum.  Arriving at Mt Field National Park start with an easy walk through a canopy of rainforest and fern glades to view crystal-clear waters and the spectacle of Russell Falls.  Soak up the serenity and atmosphere as we stroll alongside forest streams.

Lunch (at your own expense) can be enjoyed in the park before we head off towards Bonorong Wildlife Sanctuary for the end of day. 

Arriving at Bonorong Wildlife Sanctuary get ready for your up-close encounter with the iconic Tasmanian Devil and other native animals. This is an amazing opportunity to learn more about our unique wildlife and perhaps hand-feed the animals that roam free. A wonderful way to end the day before we head back to Hobart with so many special memories and experiences.
