As the season for reptiles is so short in Tas, they have adapted by targeting the nests of indigenous bird species, putting them under significant predation pressure. This is why the kookaburra is list on the feral pest list; it is threatening uniquely Tasmanian bird species.

If you are willing to travel you are welcome to come down here for a shot, Oatlands area. I have a mate who comes down from Penguin when he isn't working.
