All these adorable creatures roam freely, offering perfect opportunities for very special encounters and close-up photos. The island itself is a natural Noah's Ark for Tasmanian wildlife. Endangered species have been introduced to Maria Island, tasmani The birdlife is equally impressive. With over 20 species regularly spotted in just a few hours, the island is a bird photographer's dream. Capture eagles soaring above or colourful parrots darting between the trees. Beyond its wildlife, Maria Island has a rich and fascinating history. The geology is reminiscent of Gondwana and Aboriginal people have been on country for over 40,000 years.
