Soak in the serenity of the Toorongo River, flowing through the lush, misty forests of Noojee—just 2 hours east of Melbourne.

‘Noojee’ means place of rest—and it's easy to see why. #nature #forest #forestfriday

Happy #WombatWednesday!

If you visit Lutruwita / #Tasmania it's likely you'll spot a bare-nosed wombat. These adorable icons come with a surprising secret weapon—their 'deadly bums'!

Meet the numbat! 😍

An adorable marsupial that calls the jarrah forests of Western Australia home. Fun fact—numbats eat between 15,000-20,000 termites a day with their incredibly long tongues. Sounds like busy work.

The numbat (Myrmecobius fasciatus) is the closest living relative to the extinct thylacine.

They're an insectivore marsupial native to Australia that base almost their entire diet on termites. They're endangered, and rate at 8.7 Quokkas on the cuteness scale.

But wait, THERE'S MORE!
