Tasmanian Devil Sancuary

One of the attractions near Hobart is the Tasmanian Devil Sanctuary which sponsors research and cares for Tasmanian Devils. The wild Tasmanian Devil population is being decimated by a facial tumour which is spread through the devils biting each other when they fight. There are a number of organisations trying to find a cure for this cancer and/or virus to prevent the devils becoming extinct.

We all enjoyed walking through the sanctuary watching the devils, including a feed, and the other native Tasmanian animals. SV especially enjoyed playing with the kangaroos which were very patient.
