Tasmania Zoo had fun animal encounters, so we did a couple :)

the keeper picked up a female tasmanian devil for us

I'm not sure I would put my fingers there though :)

Jennifer practised her wombat petting technique

cockatoos are awesome birds, they always love my sunflower seeds

they are very curious and fidgedy

From the zoo, we were originally going to stop at Trowunna Wildlife Park on the way, but given the limited time in the rest of our day, and the zoo we had just seen as well as the animal encounters, we were told that it would be a bit of a repeat, so I drove directly to Mole Creek Caves where we did their 3 cave tours. The first two had quite a bit of overlap but showed different parts of the cave, so doing both instead of one, wasn't an entire waste:

The cave had glow worms, although they were picky about allowing us to photograph them:

After the cave, we drove to Cradle Mountain and did some nice hikes in the evening, but those pictures are on the Cradle Mountain (next) page.
