Roadside quickie. The Tasmanian Devil Education centre here is free of charge and a worthy restop. You can see and handle all sorts of artifacts of related marsupials eg. skulls, and view an educational video. Charges only apply to enter the zoo proper.
(but where else can you get to pat a tassie devil? We hear tell the restaurant is worth a visit too.)

Please don't let the kids climb the structure it's not that strong.


The Tasmanian Devil is in Danger - not Dangerous!

The Tasmanian Devil is the symbol of the Tasmanian National Parks and Wildlife Service. Tasmanian devils only became extinct on mainland Australia 600 years ago. The Devil Facial Tumour Disease, is having a devastating effect on the Tasmanian devil population which had recovered from a decline in the 1940's when it was feared the animal would follow the thylacine into extinction.

Feralz like the aussie obssession with BIG things - did you see the BIG Coffee pot further up the road towards Deloraine? The inspiration for this cache was a Robtas TB who turned up after nearly a year MIA! As part of a game some cachers have released travelbugs headed here -
Taz Man, Mannee the manatee Georover TBBFD8 and "Tasmanian Devil" (TBMWF6), Italy's Tasmanian Devil "New Jersey's Tasmanian Devil " 'Devils in Danger' geocoins TBVVWD ; TB1620V, Help The Taz's Statue of Liberty Geocoin, Golden Heart Tasmanian Devil in Danger, TB11DDX

or with similar goals Taz in trouble, traveling tuatara

Update Jan 2008: TBKV5V reached his goal. Update mar 2009: Endangered species - Portugal made it here! Thanks132mile for the drop
Update May 2009: Tazz has arrived. Congrats!

Aaah, big things. Gotta love 'em... though I though the nearby 'Big Spud' really needed to be a little bigger - it was tiny!
Had to do a number of laps before finding the box... I swear I looked there many times, it was just well tucked away. Sat in the long grass to log, gave myself hayfever in the long run! Thanks FF.

We love driving through this area. The ice creams at Chudleigh are recommended.
