A Bennetts Wallaby (Macropus rufogriseus) with its thick winter coat in preparation for a snowy winter in Mount Field National Park which forms part of the Tasmanian Wilderness World Heritage Area. The predominately solitary and nocturnal creatures can occasionally gather together for food, water or shelter. The wallaby is sometimes known on the mainland as a Red-necked Wallaby however the Tasmanian form (Macropus rufogriseus rufogriseus) is predominately referred to as the Bennett's wallaby. It is much smaller and has dark thick long shaggy fur to deal with the harsher winters in contrast to the lighter thinner fur of its mainland relatives. Throughout nature it is common for island species to shrink in size relative to their continental cousins. Tasmania, Australia
The sun rises through majestic river red gums over Lake Yanga within Yanga National Park. The park is now part of the larger Murrumbidgee Valley National Park created in 2010, to protect what is now the largest continuous tract of river red gum forest in the world. Over 150 species of birds call the wetlands home. The river red gum (Eucalyptus camaldulensis) is an iconic tree seen along many watercourses right across inland Australia and can live over 1000 years.
