Bit by a WOMBAT! - Episode 129
This week we take you to the stunning Maria Island, Tasmania's own "Noah's Ark". We get pretty well acquainted with the local wombats who, despite the title of this week's video, didn't seemed bothered by our presence. We think that might just be the general care-free attitude of wombats, they are so endearing, definitely my favourite Australian marsupial!
The island is also rich in history and we take you on a tour of some of the original European structures built on the island, as well as, a hike to the top of a stunning cliff and a tour of a 300 million year old fossil bed.
Enjoy lovely patrons, I think it is impossible to watch these wombats without smiling!

Another beautiful locale. Thanks for enduring the climb to bring us such stunning footage!
It's amazing how all the lifeforms in Australia are cute.
You may hesitate to cuddle a Tiger Snake but they're definitely quite- striking... We've seen a few here and we do prefer the Wombats.
One of my favorite episodes yet... great camera work! Thanks for sharing your adventures :)
It would take a hard heart indeed not to love a wombat!
:)
;-)
Love the wombats!! Wow! What interesting creatures. I'm reminded of the wild cockatoos in your earlier video. Thanks!
They are cool critters. Tough as anything and pretty focused on eating!
Loved the animals!
Wow! Thank you for my new life goal. I simply MUST get to Maria Island! Please don't tell the crocodiles but I may just love the 'bats even more! Speaking of love, love the music, love the videography and love the Pascy Giggles and really love the wombat with a branch! Hey, that would be a great band name! "Wombat with a Branch" ;-). Thanks a bazillion for your art and for being who you are.. Tim
You're so very welcome Tim! Thank you for the lovely feedback makes us smile and all the work worthwhile. I can't believe the 'bats have trumped the crocs! Inconceivable! Pascale
Send me a wombat and I’ll triple my patronage
🤣😂
I have enjoyed the vicarious tour of the Australian coastal waters. I hope to be out there myself before too long. Very enjoyable watching you explore and discover.
You're very welcome Roger. We truly hope you can get out here asap too! Would love to meet you on the water. Pascale
“Bit by a beautiful island” .... as usual, a wonderful blend of nature, science, history and .... fun. 👍🏼💥👌🏽
cheers Roy - always a pleasure to hear from you! Pascale
Great video guys....you always manage to find something interesting to report that no one else has ever seen before. Stay safe and enjoy your time there.
Cheers Geoff. I take it you've visited there as well? I bet you saw something we didn't too. We were sad we didn't see Tassie Devils!
Bit scary looking over the edge up there
Totally. You wouldn't want to go up there with vertigo.
The Wombats are awesome, as well as all the birds, reptiles, and other marsupials you showed us. Looked like a challenging hike, with a very rewarding view. Thank you for taking us along!!
It was challenging... Troy lost both his big toenails on the steep descent!
Lovely episode guys and nice to see Maria Island, I have sailed past there a few times and never had the opportunity to stop and explore.
It's a great spot. Glad we could share it with you Andrew. P
Always a little bit tour guide, history lesson, and general good time watching your videos!!
Thanks Sean. I had fun putting this one together really happy you appreciate the history lesson :D
