Our tour of Tasmania is drawing to a close and we have noted a Tasmanian Devil conservation park locally. Our drive back to Hobart is delayed whilst we take a look.
 It's a beautiful day and we make the most of our remaining time in the lodge |  We can just see the bay from our lodge |
 A few short steps and it's very pretty |  Kairen dodging snakes |
 |  It's called Stuarts Bay |
 Busy again..... |  |
 Kairen wouldn't let us pass this without a visit |  oooh...you little devil |
 Despite looking really cute, they are extremely viscious |  The size of a small dog, they are stocky and muscular |
 |  |
 An analysis of mammalian bite force relative to the body size shows that the devil has the strongest bite of any living mammal |  |
 First seen in 1996, devil facial tumour disease (DFTD) has ravaged Tasmania's wild devil population by about 50% |  These healthy devils are quarantined in case the wild population dies out. |
 We watched a great birds of the wild demonstration, with most of the birds having been rescued in some way. |  A Tawney Frogmouth |
 |  |
 Peregrine Falcon |  |
 |  We finished off with a roo and wallaby fix. |
 |  Quolls |
 Skippy! |  Kookaburra |
 Now that's funny! |  |
 |  |
 We stopped at Dunally Bay's Sommer Beach to look at the strange way the tide had left water rivulets |  |
 |  |
 Richmond Bridge built in 1823 |  Richmond was originally on the main route between Hobart and Port Arthur |
 |  With some very pretty buildings it's a major tourist attraction. |
 |  |
 |  |
 No comment! |  Not ANOTHER ice-cream |
 We are back in Hobart. The sun is shining and it looks much nicer than when we left the rain a couple of weeks ago. |  |
 One of the cruise ships that had plagued us at Port Arthur. |  The Sea Shepherd's Ady Gil is still in port. They had left for Antarctica but had to return because of an electronics fault. This fixed the New Zealand Government (under which they are registered) were being awkward about permission to set sail for the Antarctic water to harass the Japanese whaling fleet. |
 |  |
 Salamanca Square is much nicer in the sunshine |  |
 |  |
 |  |

 |  |
 Buns! |  ..more Buns! |
 Christmas is approaching |  |
 |  Laurie killing time in Hobart Airport |
