Wombat country at Cradle Mountain, TAS

Have you ever wondered how is it that patches of grasslands around Cradle Mountain area have that perfect green manicured lawn look? Besides the weather it has a lot to do with creatures that live there, wallabies, pademelons and wombats. I captured couple of photos of local common wombats bellow…

Undeterred by my presence wombat emerges from its burrow. After realisation that I don’t pose any threats it ignores me and goes about his daily job. Maintaining and manicuring the greens while in the same time fertilising them. What a perfect gardener…

No time to stop and chat, lawns need to be mowed…
