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.
