Narawntapu National Park

Narawntapu is referred to by those keen to promote it as the "Serengeti of Tasmania". Frankly, I think that's a bit far fetched but there certainly is animal life here. I was actually hoping to photograph a frog as you can hear heaps of them. Then, suddenly, in the middle of the trail, there it was. Sadly in the mouth of a copperhead though. The snake slithered under the brush at the side and I had to prod it with my tripod to coax it back on the trail in order to get my shots.

You also have a good chance of seeing a wombat or two as there are quite a few around.
