| | Place Names of Tasmania 2 |
 | | First, we'll look at the names that sound as if they are animal and bird-related; there are sure to be quite a few. |
 | | Dairy Plains relates to cows, and then there's the sea-flavoured Dolphin Sands, and Shark Point, Oyster Bay, Oyster Cove, Musselboro and Musselroe Bay. |
 | | Badger Head, Molesworth and Mole Creek are a bit of a shock, since Tasmania has never seen a badger or a mole in its life, but we have plenty of possums to account for Opossum Bay. |
