Platypus World
Finding a platypus or echidna is often hard, and while spotting one in the wild is slightly easier in Tasmania than it is on the mainland, this sanctuary houses a few Tasmanian platypuses and echidnas in a bid to increase public awareness about these two one-of-a-kind marsupials.
Seahorse World and the Southern Ocean Aquarium
This place firstly has an aquarium-like room where it has tanks with specimens of many different types of seahorses, before moving onto the second room where seahorses are produced on a truly industrial scale, primarily to supply research and home aquariums. You can see many of them in all stages of development. Unless you are really into seahorses, you may find the final room with a touch pool, crabs, and many other sea creatures the most interesting.
Beauty Point is near the Northern Coast of Tasmania on the west of the Tamar. The main way to access the town is by car via a 40-minute drive north from Launceston via the West Tamar Highway (A7).
