Devil’s in the detail

AG SOCIETY HOSTED EXPERIENCES

Come on an adventure with us while raising funds for the AG Society at the same time.

DATES: 15–17 November 2019

EARLY IN THE YEAR I jumped at a three-day expedition to see Tasmanian devils at Devil Ark, a captive breeding facility in the Barrington Tops region of NSW. Devil Ark founder Tim Faulkner and his team work tirelessly to protect endangered native Australian wildlife.

The adventure began as soon as we hit the dirt road, when Tim spotted echidnas, bearded dragons and an eastern brown snake. Once at the breeding facility, we loaded the ute up with buckets of roadkill kangaroo, causing hungry devils to bound over. We learnt how to set up devil traps, and returned the next day to find a few unhappy residents, ready for their regular check-ups.
