Tasman National Park protects forest and spectacular coastline from Cape Surville to Waterfall Bay and Fortescue Bay; and from Cape Hauy to Cape Pillar and Cape Raoul. The park incorporates several off-shore islands, including Fossil Island, Hippolyte Rocks and Tasman Island. It is an area of great beauty and natural diversity which includes some of the most stunning coastal scenery anywhere in Australia.

The park is also home to a wide range of land and marine animals, and several species of rare plant. The Tasman National Park was declared under the Regional Forest Agreement (RFA) in April 1999. The RFA identified the area for reservation for a number of reasons, including its high conservation and scenic values.

Tasmanian Devil Park is located at Taranna, an hour from Hobart on the highway to Port Arthur. Drop in and see the wildlife by day and meet a Tasmanian Devil. There are a range of other native animals at the park too, including quolls, eagles, rare golden possums, kangaroos, and wallabies. The park also features ‘Kings of the Wind’ free flight bird show. Injured birds and animals are nursed back to health at the wildlife rescue centre.

The recently extended and refurbished foyer now contains the state’s only Wildlife Gallery. Original works by artists, photographers and sculptors make up an exhibition that is devoted entirely to showcasing native wildlife. ‘Devils in the Dark’ evening guided tours provide the opportunity to see these feisty marsupials in their natural habitat.
