If you are coming to Au you need to learn the lingo

Thylacine or Tassie tiger closest relative to the Devil. There are still some parts of Tas that have rarely if ever seen people. So who knows and those that do are not saying or are long gone.

There was a woodpecker here that was thought to be extint, and a few years ago, someone spotted it....so you never know!

kangaroo is good but very strong, I much prefer wallaby myself, my daughter eats mutton bird which i can't stand the smell of or the taste. My husband is indiginous Tasmanian and while I was carrying my daughter we visited some rellies and they were cooking and salting and plucking the birds. I was sick the whole time of the visit (a week). Last time I took some to her even tho well wrapped I couldn't get the smell out of my bag. Yukk
