An Apollonaut travel guide
The place behind the visit.
Breeding programmes, field monitoring and three of Tasmania’s carnivorous marsupials offer several ways into the story of Devils@Cradle.

A sanctuary on the road to the mountain
Devils@Cradle is a privately owned, conservation-based breeding sanctuary on the edge of the World Heritage-listed Cradle Mountain–Lake St Clair National Park, open to the public all year.
It takes part in two national conservation programmes, for Tasmanian devils and for quolls, and rescues, raises and releases orphaned or injured wildlife.
Recognised enclosures
The sanctuary’s enclosures won the Zoo and Aquarium Association’s Exhibit Award in 2014, 2016 and 2018.
Its partners include the University of Tasmania, the Parks and Wildlife Service and the Tasmanian Land Conservancy. This page reports the sanctuary’s own account; it does not add claims of its own.
Devils@Cradle today
Visitors meet Tasmanian devils, spotted-tailed quolls, eastern quolls and a resident wombat, by day and, on evening feeding tours, after dark.
This history belongs to the place and the people who shaped it. The History page offers a longer introduction, and the timeline gives a short route through selected milestones.
