Over the last couple of weeks, I’ve been putting the finishing touches on my next big trip. I’ll be going back to Australia in early November. This time to Tasmania. It’s been almost ten years since my first visit to the country — my inaugural journey with a digital camera. At the time, I was shooting with a Nikon D200 and a manual-focus 600mm lens. It will be nice to have a second chance at kangaroos and all the other marsupials and monotremes with updated equipment and a more experienced eye. The above photo was taken on Kangaroo Island on that first visit — a young, aptly named, Kangaroo Island kangaroo, which is a subspecies of the western grey kangaroo. If anyone has been to Tasmania and has any advice, especially concerning wildlife, it would be good to hear from you. Thanks.

But for its short ears, it has a sweet face that might belong to a bunny. I bet you will have a whale of a time in Tasmania, Sean, especially given the advanced camera gear you now own and as you say “a more experienced eye”.

Tasmania? The devil you say! ; >
Yes, Kim, very much looking forward to meeting some of those devils.
