What to expect
After hotel pickup, you'll head to Bonorong Wildlife Park where staff introduce you to the animals Tasmanians have grown up around. You'll get genuinely close to Tasmanian Devils—hearing their distinctive calls and watching their behaviour—plus encounter quokkas, wombats and wallabies roaming the grounds. The second half pivots to Richmond village, a pocket-sized town frozen in the 1800s. Expect to walk the main street lined with sandstone buildings, duck into the bridge (genuinely historic), and get a sense of convict-era settlement. Your guide provides context throughout; this isn't museum-style lecturing, just practical storytelling.
Good to know
Bring water and sunscreen—the park has limited shade. Wear comfortable walking shoes for Richmond's uneven cobbled streets. The tour suits all fitness levels; most walking is gentle. Prams and infant seats are available. Meals aren't included; grab lunch before or eat in Richmond's cafes.
