Tasmanian Arboretum
#weekendgetaways
Nestled in a beautifully maintained garden, the Tasmanian Arboretum is a haven for nature lovers, and visiting in December makes the experience even more enchanting. Despite the warmer season, the garden remains vibrant, alive with the melodies of native birds and the gentle rustle of the breeze. But the true highlight? The rare and breathtaking opportunity to see platypuses up close in their natural habitat, a sight that feels almost surreal. Patience is rewarded here, and the joy of observing them in such an unspoiled setting is beyond words. Wallabies and graceful black swans added to the magic of the experience, making every moment unforgettable.
