There is only one road into the park.
Opposite to that sign (below) one can come by boat from Port Sorell which is on the other side of the beach, we used to do this for several years on a Sunday years ago to water ski in this area. Those times there was no fee and no road into Bakers Beach.
Below is a Pademelon which is a small marsupial, they can be distinguished from wallies by their shorter, thicker, and sparsely haired tail.
Above is a Parrot taken from a distance out the vehicle's window so it's not that clear.
Wallabies are just everywhere, they are much smaller than kangaroos. If you look hard in the below photo and enlarge it you will see them dotted along the side of the right hand side of the road and in the bushes.
Above photo is part of the camping area which is low cost, no showers in this area or power, toilets are available. However within the National Park in one area close to the Information Centre there is a campsite with power, toilets and showers for a low cost.
Both photos are of Bakers Beach. The top one is a short part of the beach and the bottom one is the long beach and just as long in the opposite direction.
Below the walkway out from the beach.
We visited this very park and had a great day there. We did miss the Pademelon, however, although we looked for it several times in different locations.
ReplyDeleteWe only saw one Pademelon, would see more at night I expect.
DeleteDe la visión de uns simpáticos animales a contemplar el hermoso color azul del mar. buenos ingredientes para una entrada.
ReplyDeleteBesos
Lovely to see the contrast.
DeleteSuch a lovely peaceful area.
ReplyDeleteI have fond memories of pademelons (though I have only seen them in Queensland).
They are cute little things.
DeleteI would have thought a pademelon was akin to the watermelon until i saw this! I would so love to see the animals in your part of the world. Thanks for the photos.
ReplyDeleteOne would think so according to the name 'melon', but alas two different things.
DeleteWe do have some lovely animals that are native.
You are welcome.
Cute animals.
ReplyDeleteThey are indeed Adam.
DeleteThat's a pademelon? I heard of them when I was young and always thought it was a fruit. I thought it was those fruit that grow on cactus, because we had a paddock near us with those cactus which grew red skinned fruit, so I assumed the name was "paddy (paddock) melon"
ReplyDeleteThe photos are beautiful.
Yes that’s a Pademelon, a Tasmanian one...
DeleteThere is a fruit called paddy melon which is toxic.
Thanks re photos :)
cute animals!
ReplyDeleteThey are cute.
DeleteOh god, what beautiful pictures and wonderful place! I am so happy that you managed to go there!
ReplyDeleteMY NEW POST ♥♥♥
Thanks Nastya.
DeleteThe Pademelon is awesome, the tiny things.
ReplyDeleteThey are different, and cute, have to agree with you Bob.
DeleteBakers Beach looks like a beautiful area and the wallabies are lovely too. Thanks.
ReplyDeleteNice place to visit of free camp or park in the powered campsite if you both like doing that, just sitting and watching nature pass you by or walking on the beach.
DeleteI would travel your direction just for the wallabies!!
ReplyDeleteAt Bakers Beach you certainly would see plenty, they are well camouflaged.
DeleteInteresantes anímales por aquí no hay de esa variedad. Besitos.
ReplyDeleteI expect you have animals I've never seen, maybe a photo of two though.
DeleteI never seen a pademelon before, they're rather cute. The wallabies are so adorable looking. The beach is gorgeous, I would enjoy walking there. Beautiful images and thanks for sharing.
ReplyDeleteEnjoy your weekend!
You are welcome. I believe that is my first ever photo of a Pademelon, though I've seen a few in my time just never had a camera.
DeleteThose wallabies have cute faces too.
Wonderful photos, I especially loved the photo of the Pademelon, I did not know this animal, he is so cute.
ReplyDeleteHave a nice weekend
Hugs
Maria

Baili, these animals are not rodents :), may look like because of their long tails.

DeleteI love beach, wonderful place!☺
ReplyDeleteMany of us love beaches Natalia.
DeleteAlways peaceful here at the beach.
Well I'd heard of wallabies but not Pademelons, so it was lovely seeing your photographs.
ReplyDeleteThe beach does look great, and the sky so blue.
All the best Jan
Had to take the photo quickly before the Pademelon took off into the bush.
DeleteThey are sweet as most animals are..
