I Drive From Freycinet National Park Heading South

I thought we could only encounter kangaroos in jungles and grasslands.

But they come along on regular roads and even in parking lots!

Their tails are long, so be careful not to step on them while driving.

Spiky Bridge was built by convicts in the mid 19th century on the east coast of Tasmania located 7.5 kilometres from the town of Swansea.

I Go To Cape Tourville In Freycinet National Park

The vibrant orange rocks scattered along the coastline of Freycinet National Park are colored by lichens.

The reason they are orange is that the lichens attached to the surface of the rocks appear a fiery orange.

Lichen: A hybrid colony of algae or cyanobacteria living symbiotically among filaments of multiple fungus species, along with bacteria.
