Beaker Street - Glow Tours

Glowing flora and fauna are among Tasmania’s most spectacular natural wonders. Pink-glowing possums, green-glowing wallabies, blue-glowing sugar gliders, plus technicolour owls, flowers, and fungi! Join Dr Lisa Gershwin on this truly unforgettable experience. Lisa will share the glowing world with you through fascinating stories and show you how to get great photos to surprise your friends. Plus, you might even spot a platypus! We will explore a safe forested parkland, in walking distance from Hobart’s CBD, in search of glowing marsupials, birds, flowers, and other species. The long and narrow shape of this splendid park naturally concentrates the animals, and because it is frequented by walkers and cyclists, the animals are less timid than in more remote settings, allowing us to watch them. Lisa will supply the ultraviolet (UV) torches and the natural history narrative, while nature will supply the wonder and awe. Bring warm clothes and a sense of adventure and curiosity. And definitely bring a camera! This tour is suitable for those 12+
