If you're visiting Tasmania, make sure you check out the Tasmanian Devil Conservation Park, situated on the main highway to Port Arthur, approximately an hour from Hobart. In the video below, Justin describes the devils as "Sort of half mouse, half cat, half dog."For a great deal on Motorhome Hire Tasmania go to http://campervanhiresalefinder.com.au.
Tasmanian Devils are the size of a small dog, but stocky and muscular. They are the largest carnivorous marsupial in the world after the extinction of the Thylacine, or Tasmanian Tiger, in 1936. They have black fur, release a pungent odour when they're stressed, and they possess an extremely loud screech. (Source: Wikipedia)
Since the late 1990s, devil facial tumour disease has reduced the devil population significantly and now threatens the survival of the species. In May 2009 the Tasmanian Devil was declared to be endangered,which is why Conservation Parks like this exist -- to keep the species healthy and thriving.

I have been General Manager of Motorhome Republic, the operators of this website, for 4 years and with the company for 6 years starting as a Sales / Account Manager. Previous roles have included account manager and software architect for a web design firm, advertising sales across multiple media and television production. I’ve been lucky enough to go Motorhoming several times in Canada, USA and New Zealand so far and grew up going on caravanning holidays with Mum and Dad. The value and freedom Motorhoming offers are its two main drawcards for me. That and the envy on the other campers’ faces when you pull into a State Park campground with no hook ups in a 31’ Class C with double slide outs, on board generator, side awning, exterior entertainment unit and smoker unit for a 10kg salmon caught earlier that day.
I have been in the Motorhome industry for the best part of 6 years and with Motorhomes Republic for the last 18 months. I previously worked for the largest Motorhome rental company in the world as the New Zealand Sales Account Manager. I’ve traveled the length and width of New Zealand in many different categories of Motorhomes, in fact I don’t think there is a main state highway I haven’t driven. The love I have for Motorhomes is one of freedom and flexibility, doing what I want when I want. If I have a hankering for a cup of coffee in a beautiful scenic spot simply stop boil and enjoy….
