Tasmanian Arboretum

Twelve kilometres south of Devonport, this 66-hectare community-built arboretum holds the world's largest collection of Tasmanian living woody plants alongside southern hemisphere conifers and cool-climate species from northern forests. Founder's Lake is reliably one of Australia's best spots to see wild platypus — any time of day, most days. Open every day of the year; $10 entry.
