Magical Tasmania!
Yet another little critter I never knew about--amazing the unique varieties down there.

What a lovely place to slow down, observe, Be and photograph--great fun!

I've only seen one behind our house but heaps in Tasmania.

Thanks for commenting Kangaroojack. Of the zillions of echidnas I saw in Tasmania...a Noah's Ark for wildlife....this was my best pic. Today in the Atacama Desert in Chile I photographed a lizard and a rare chance...a vicuña that actually approached us rather than running away!
