The 30-meter-wiMount Field National Park is a haven for diverse wildlife, offering visitors a chance to encounter many of Tasmania's native species in their natural habitat. Here are some highlights: Wallabies, the Eastern Quoll, Yellow Wattlebird, platypus, and the echidna.de isthmus that leads to Port Arthur was once guarded by a line of up to nine ferocious dogs. A life-size replica of this infamous scene can be found on shore, setting the scene to how difficult it would have been to escape the Tasman peninsula through this narrow piece of land.
