Bonorong Wildlife Sanctuary

If you're headed down south, you're probably going to want to see a Tassie Devil – a cute little carnivore with very sharp teeth. Much like a lot of Australia's native animals, the Tassie Devil faces extinction, which is why Bonorong Wildlife Sanctuary is so important. This expansive outdoor sanctuary (just 30 minutes from Hobart) has been rescuing and rehabilitating native animals since 1981. Every animal that lives at Bonorong is extinct elsewhere in the world, and every dollar you spend here goes towards maintaining their animals and funding local conservation efforts. You can see fluffy rarities like quolls, wombats and pademelons, and feed roaming kangaroos by hand. Pro tip: Visit at night for a very unique experience.
