Friends of Lillico Penguins - Wildcare

The Lillico Beach Conservation Area is located 6 km west of Devonport alongside the eastbound carriageway of the Bass Highway. It is a long narrow reserve, 2.5km long and 14 hectares in size, mainly a shingle terrace with an interesting low-tide ‘beach’ consisting of an eroded basalt platform with many rock pools. Lillico Beach is a very important wildlife corridor allowing movement between bushland on the Don River and the Forth River.

The best time to arrive is just after sunset. Wear warm, dark clothing and please do not use white lights or flash photography on the platform. Please also note there is no toilet at the platform; the nearest public toilets are at Turners Beach.

Cradle Mountain - Lake St Clair National Park

Cradle Mountain–Lake St Clair National Park, with its ancient rainforests and alpine heaths, is home to the world-famous Overland Track and iconic Cradle Mountain. Part of the Tasmanian Wilderness World Heritage Area, the park is one of the state's most special places, where ancient pines fringe  glacial lakes and icy streams cascade down rugged mountains.

The vegetation is rich and diverse including grassland, rainforest and many ancient plants such as the long-lived and endemic King Billy pine and the unusual native deciduous beech. The park also provides a rich habitat for wildlife, including Tasmanian devils, quolls, platypus, echidna and several  bird species.

Dramatic Cradle Mountain is the rugged jewel of the park and can be seen from Dove Lake on a day visit. Take the two-hour walk around the lake or spend the day tackling Cradle Mountain's summit.

There are also a variety of shorter walks that pass through beautiful old-growth rainforest.
