RFI : Tasmanian Devil
Good afternoon
We will be spending 4 days in November in Tasmania and I’m looking for places to watch the Devil.
Get recommendation for Maria Island (but it’s fully booked) and I’ve contacted Mountain Valley Wilderness Holiday, but no answer so far.
Did you have any other recommendations? (with decent budget, max around 250 AUD/night)
Did some of you try driving around Loongana area or Arthur River and actually saw Devils?
Thanks for your help

There are some campsites on Maria Island that are only walk in. But you might have to walk a couple of kilometres before reaching the spot. I stayed at French farm during my time at Maria Island and almost every night we saw Tasmanian devils between French farm and Encampment cove.
I also saw them two times in Cradle Mountain NP during the first night drive we did there. After that we didn’t see any again, but other mammals were abundant.

Not sure if camping is an option for you but I do believe that the campground is non-reservation and takes walk-ins only. I did read this but it could be wrong? I am planning on Maria Island too but in August of 25. I hope you get in and then I can pick your brain on your sightings!
