Discover Melaleuca, a ex-tin-mining settlement tucked away on the shores of southwest Tasmania’s Bathurst Harbour. Here, devoted volunteers, scientists, bushwalkers, and Parks and Wildlife caretakers unite to protect the endangered orange-bellied parrot.

Capture the moment at bird viewing hides for an unforgettable encounter of these rare birds between December and March. With fewer than 100 individuals left in the wild, each sighting becomes a poignant reminder of the fragility of our natural world.
