Tinderbox Hills may be small, but it is incredibly diverse.

29 of 43

Tinderbox Hills, right on Hobart’s doorstep, is truly special. It has an incredibly rich mix of habitats brimming with wildlife, from the canopy tops to the deep gullies. The towering blue gums (Eucalyptus globulus) support a visiting population of endangered swift parrots (Lathamus discolor).

White gum (Eucalyptus viminalis) is a valuable food source for the endangered forty-spotted pardalote (Pardalotus quadragintus), and Tinderbox’s white gums feed several breeding pairs.
