Tasmanian Devils

Think Tasmania has put together this awesome youtube slideshow....




Think Tasmania  has compiled a video. 
The Tasmanian Devil photos we publish on Think Tasmania always receive lots of feedback.  So we’ve compiled a video and added a little background music, so you can enjoy a few of them in one go!!

Many of the Tasmanian Devil photos shown in the video were taken by Dan Fellow of Tasmania Photos.  Others were taken during visits to the following Tasmanian wildlife parks…

• Bonorong Wildlife Sanctuary
• East Coast Natureworld
• Wings Wildlife Park

We threw in a couple of images showing Tassie Devils made by Tasmanian Softies just to see if you were paying attention!

Hi! from Tassie - Burnie

These very unusual creatures have landed on Burnie Foreshore.  They are white, light up at night and change colours.  During the day water spurts out from them in every direction???

Call by and have a look for yourself.  Dont for get the kids.  Great fun to be had by all !!

Hi! from Tassie - Wynyard

Tassie has been out and about again this weekend.  He visited the Wynyard Cenetaph and look what he found!!!

THE Wynyard cenotaph has two new guards. Silent and regal, they stand either side of the lofty structure.

 

It was quite a process for the Wynyard RSL sub-branch to secure a 5.5 inch field gun.
In the end, they got their hands on a pair of artillery guns, which were unveiled this week - the first part of a cenotaph upgrade.

Now, the two guns sit in Gutteridge Gardens, concreted in and surrounded by a fence.

Originally the two guns were located in Launceston and transporting them was no easy feat, weighing in at six tonnes.

They arrived at Wynyard last year.

Mr Beynon said the guns were sacred to all ex-artillery men.

The guns' standard projectile was 37kg (82 pounds), but in emergencies they could fire up to 45kg (100 pounds).

"They have a range of 15km,"

"They could hit Burnie from here."

We have found a name.....

Our New Tasmanian Softie... Has been named.  Anne Dunham a freind of Tasmanian Softies has just won the competition.  She has picked the name "Ricky"  after our own home grown famous cricketer Ricky Ponting.  Anne will be receiving her very own "Ricky" in the mail this week.

A New Tasmanian Softie

This is our new Tasmanian Softie. 

Here he is !!! our brand new Tasmanian Softie. He is a Tasmanian Tiger. Otherwise known as a Thylacine www.youtube.com/watch?v=6vqCCI1ZF7o This Tasmanian marsupial is one of the most mysterious creatures ever known to Tasmania. Some legends say he can still be seen in the thick deep scrub in the centre of Tasmania.

 

Why did we pick a Tasmanian Tiger? Because we dont want to forget him. We certainly dont want the Tasmanian Devil to be a memory also. 10% of sales from the Tasmanian Tiger will also go towards the Save the Tasmanian Devil Appeal.

 

Our Tasmanian Tiger - loves health and fitness and and certainly does not want to see our health and fitness disappear into extinction. Our Tasmanian Tiger will be covering all things to do with Sport ♥ Here he is at the New Years Day Sports in Burnie. At the starting line of the 100m sprints.
