lots of wallabies
two echidnas - both suicidally crossing roads, confident in their ability to take out the tyres of anyone foolish enough not to swerve
multiple birds
bumblebees
a snake crossing my path that turned and reared at me as though to strike as I moved away from it. Discussion with a Tasmanian has resulted in a probable identification as a tiger snake, aggressive and quite venomous. That could have been the end of my holiday then and there.
sheep
cows
marsupial mice
ducks
a skink
hmm there were probably more but they elude me

Did you see the bandicoot?
The skink was some kind of Scott of the Antarctic of the lizard world, surviving in a place where the lows were below freezing in the middle of summer, all tiny little twisted alpine trees and lichen...
sadly no, I was at the back of the group, with the lantern lighting peoples way and the bandicoot was long gone by the time I would have been close enough to see it.
