24.01.2022 This week on the Tasmanian Devil Channel we join John as he shows us what a bit of rain can do at the Unzoo.

13.01.2022 This week on the Tasmanian Devil Channel we bring you the story of how the Unzoo came to be and join Maggie as she checks in on some of our wild Tasmanian devils. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RttJNt2AI6Q

12.01.2022 Next time you visit The Beach Escape at Primrose Sands, head down to Tasmanian Devil Unzoo near Port Arthur for a unique wildlife experience. It's the opposite ...of a Zoo - it's an Unzoo! The only animals behind fences are Tasmanian Devils (thank goodness for that!) and some kangaroos not native to the area. All other wild animals are free to come and go so you never know what you'll see as it's up to the animals to reveal themselves. Here's a few of our pictures from our recent visit. www.tasmaniandevilunzoo.com.au

11.01.2022 #TravelTuesday calls for a shot with blue skies and blue sea! Taken from Dunalley, 30 minutes drive to the Unzoo, this is also a picture of the Tasmanian devil proof fence which has played a vital role in protecting the wild Tasmanian Devils living on the Foresteir and Tasman Peninsulas! It stops Devils affected with the Devil Facial Tumor Disease from infecting our disease free devils and helping to save the species! . .... . . . . . . . . . . . @ladyalhana See more
