Echidnas have a talent for looking like they’re doing absolutely nothing while quietly running the bush like it’s their job.

A few proper facts (because “spiky anteater” doesn’t quite cover it):
Echidnas are monotremes, which means they’re one of the very few mammals that lay eggs. The female lays a single soft-shelled egg and carries it in a temporary pouch. When it hatches, the baby is called a “puggle” (yes, really), and it stays in the pouch for weeks before moving into a burrow while Mum heads out to feed.

They don’t have teeth. Instead, they use a long sticky tongue to hoover up ants and termites, then grind the meal with keratin pads in their mouth. Their snout is packed with sensors that help them locate prey, and they can detect tiny vibrations in the ground, which is a handy trick when your dinner lives underground and refuses to cooperate.

Those spines are modified hairs, and the rest of their fur is surprisingly dense. When bothered, they’ll dig down fast and “anchor” themselves, leaving you with a neat little porcupine-shaped problem you can’t shift. Stubbornness: an underrated survival strategy.

We find echidnas all over the area, across the tracks and bushland, usually alone and usually in no hurry. If you see one, give it space and let it get on with the serious business of rearranging the soil and eating thousands of insects for free.

Last-minute Christmas present idea: give someone a day out that doesn’t end up in a drawer.

Our guided day walks are a solid mix of fresh air, good company, and a proper lunch. Nothing extreme, nothing awkward, just a well-run day that suits most fitness levels.

Bakers Walking Company was featured in RACT’s Journeys magazine (Summer 2025–26).

The article, “Walk, Rest and Rejuvenation”, captures what we’re about: the physical reward of the walk balanced with proper rest, including open-air baths, saunas, and chef-prepared meals.

We’re also proud to be recognised for our broader focus on championing regional tourism in Tasmania and to be listed alongside other operators helping drive our visitor economy.

We’re opening up new sections of the estate for next season, and the tractor is hard at work. But you won’t see us bulldozing or excavating.

Instead, we slash.

By simply cutting the vegetation back to ground level rather than digging it up, we keep the soil structure intact and the root systems alive. It means the track sits on the landscape, not in it.

It’s just one way we ensure that while you get access to 1,137 acres of wild Tasmania, the bush hardly knows you were there.
