Ronny Creek (Wombat Viewing)
Ronny Creek
Tasmania's easiest place to spot wild wombats, a grassy meadow crossed by boardwalks through open button grass plains, where wombats graze at dusk.
Ronny Creek is an open high-moor meadow along the Dove Lake road and the starting point of the Overland Track. A roughly 30-minute boardwalk loop often reveals wombats, red-necked wallabies and echidnas, which are most active at dusk and dawn. Keep your distance, and don't feed or touch the animals or leave the boardwalk. During the day you can take the park shuttle bus to the Ronny Creek stop. After the shuttle stops running in the evening, visitors staying at the park entrance may drive in during the permitted time slots.
