Tasmania.. Devils at Cradle and Hobart - Day 6

Published on 15 October 2022 at 22:33

Today we are leaving Cradle Mountain. So I had to wake up early again! But my parents managed to get me out of bed by saying we are going to see Tasmanian Devils. I had never seen a Tasmanian Devil before and I wanted to see one ASAP. Also I had to pack my bags and get ready to go to Hobart. Boring… The car trip was 3 hours. Great… We got dressed and drove to Devils @ Cradle. And boy… there was a lot of Tasmanian Devils. We were looking at the mature devils for a bit. I named 2 of them. Their names are Danger & Deadly, they are sisters. After we watched the mature devils we went to see a pregnant mother. She is going to have 3 babies. So cute! We also went to see some Quolls. They kind of look like big rats. But they are still so cute! There was a tour guide talk going on so we went to listen. While we were listening, my friend dropped her hat in the Mature devil enclosure. Oh dear… One of the workers had to get it for her. After Devils @ Cradle we had to drive to Hobart. I was not excited. ( In the past I have had some incidents) ( carsickness)  on the way we stopped at Iron Blow Lookout, Nelson falls, Frenchmans Cap Suspended Bridge and Lake St Clair. We had booked an apartment  in Hobart. It is called the Old Woolstore Apartment.  I was sleeping in the car until we stopped . My mum was inside a restaurant waiting for our dinner. When I looked on the clock it was 7:40pm. When we arrived at the apartment it was 8:00.  We were staying at Hobart for 3 nights so we had to bring a lot of thing in. It took ages since we were on the top floor. Finally we got everything inside. I ate dinner and then went to bed.

Tasmania Devil

The Tasmanian devil is a carnivorous marsupial of the family Dasyuridae. Until recently, it was only found on the island state of Tasmania, but it has been reintroduced to New South Wales in mainland Australia, with a small breeding population. 

We have to save the Tasmanian Devils because they are endangered.

Quoll

Quolls are carnivorous marsupials native to Australia and New Guinea. They are primarily nocturnal and spend most of the day in a den. Of the six species of quoll, four are found in Australia and two in New Guinea. Another two species are known from fossil remains in Pliocene and Pleistocene deposits in Queensland

Lake St Clair 

Lake St Clair or Leeawulenna is a natural freshwater lake located in the Central Highlands area of Tasmania, Australia. The lake forms the southern end of the Cradle Mountain-Lake St Clair National Park

Nelson Falls

The Nelson Falls, a cascade waterfall, is located in the UNESCO World Heritage–listed Tasmanian Wilderness, in the West Coast region of Tasmania, Australia.

Iron Blow Lookout

The Iron Blow Lookout allows you to peer into Tasmania's tortured mining history. Gold was discovered in the hills of the Linda Valley of Tasmania's west coast back in 1883 at a site dubbed the Iron Blow. Miners descended on the site to discover much more profitable deposits of copper.

 

Hobart 

Hobart, capital of Australia's island state of Tasmania, sits on the River Derwent. At its fashionable Salamanca Place, old sandstone warehouses host galleries and cafes. Nearby is Battery Point, a historic district with narrow lanes and colonial-era cottages. The city's backdrop is 1,270m-high Mount Wellington, with sweeping views, plus hiking and cycling trails.
