Forrester kangaroos can often can be seen fighting, as was the case in this scene from Narawntapu National Park, located in central north coast of Tasmania.
LAST YEAR was the first time the Australian island of Tasmania cracked the 1 million visitors mark, and only 10% of those tourists were from international locations. Located 240 kilometers south of the mainland, Tasmania is home to just over 500,000 residents, and more than half of of them live in and around the capital city of Hobart. These photos by Mia and Matt Glastonbury show why the visitor numbers to Tasmania is growing every year.
