Wildlife-Watching

Pepperbush Adventures. This husband-and-wife team runs tours out of Scottsdale, but the majority of tours depart from Launceston and cover Tasmania's northeast, looking at local wildlife in its natural habitat. The full-day Quoll Patrol takes you to view the "bandit of the Bush," as well as wallabies, platypuses, and, if you're lucky, some devils. Trout fishing and full-day wine tasting tours are also available, as well as several multiday excursions, including a six-day experience that visits the Bay of Fires on the northeast coast and the Tarkine, the greatest expanse of cool temperate rain forest in Australia. 65 King St., Launceston, Tasmania, 7260. www.pepperbush.com.au.
