After a couple of days in Sydney, it was off to Tasmania. Generally derided it would seem by the Aussies for being full of inbreds, it's a beautiful part of the country (most of it is yet another World Heritage Site) with wildlife galore. The first animal (a possum) we saw for approximately 2 seconds before it disappeared under our front left wheel. After driving for a couple of hours through thick fog and driving rain, we got to our cabin in the woods - open fire, jacuzzi bath - the works. Self catering has massive benefits for me with Eve working her magic in the kitchen. We woke up the next morning to find a wallaby feasting on the plants on our front lawn. We also saw a fair few wombats on our treks.
Two days of trekking around Cradle Mountain later (with some parts being more akin to rock climbing) and it was off to Wine Glass Bay on the other side of Tassie (I'm sure that's some kind of World Heritage Site too). Thankfully, no wildlife was harmed in the making of that journey. The beach was beautiful - almost as clean as the one at our fancy hotel in Cambodia - although the staff did sift the sand there to keep it clean. I kid you not.
