Come to Tassie. Some walks are Hilleberg musters!JohnnoMcJohnno wrote:Outside of wildlife, I've never seen a Hilleberg tent in the wild. I've seen Monts, Macpacs, MSR's, Big Agnes's, Naturehikes, Tarptents, but not Hillebergs. Even in Alpine areas which I would of thought was their natural habitat, I've never seen one.
Maybe it's the fishing that makes the difference. Spending lots of time where they're supposed to be. I've only seen about 6.ILUVSWTAS wrote:Really surprising so many people saying platypus. Maybe they're more common in Tassie but I reckon I must've seen close to 50 over the years. Last year alone every fishing trip we went on we usually saw at least 1.

I pass so many koala crossing road signs and still can't spot one in the bush despite often trying in known localities. And there is a *&%$#! koala story in the local news every week!
