What you will visit:

Bonorong Wildlife Sanctuary
Derived from an Aboriginal word that means "native companion," Bonorong is a wildlife sanctuary, home to some of Australia's most famous natives, such as Tasmanian devils and wombats, along with kangaroos and wallabies. Just 30 minutes outside of Hobart, this wildlife sanctuary is run by a dedicated staff committed to returning healthy animals to back into the wild. For over 20 years, the sanctuary has promoted its mission of reducing rates of extinction by raising community awareness. Bonorong allows many of the animals in its care to roam freely in natural habitats, including Forester kangaroos, which respond to hand feeding. Knowledgeable naturalist guides are on hand to answer questions and to assist with animal interactions.

Richmond
Nestled within farmland and wine country, Richmond is a beautifully preserved Georgian village. Established in 1825, five years before Port Arthur, Richmond is a genuine village of slate and cobblestone, handmade brick and mellow stone, cottages and manors. Explore the historic old jail and many of the well-preserved buildings that have been converted into shops, galleries and tearooms. Richmond is also home to Australia's oldest bridge, church and jail, where one of its infamous inmates was convict Ikey Solomon, said to be the model for Dickens' character Fagin in Oliver Twist.
