people hope or expect to see Tasmanian devils roaming in the wild, this
is often not the case, devils are such shy nocturnal creatures that the
chance of seeing one is quite remote.cility

This ALL WEATHER facility is the most in depth and close up Tasmanian
devil experience anywhere in Tasmania, and enables visitors to learn
about this extraordinary animal and the threats that confront it,
while getting the opportunity to view devils close up within a number
of secluded enclosures from the comfort of the facility.
