Tasmania is one of those places we all hear about (usually from Bugs Bunny and friends), but never think we’ll actually visit.  We decided to change that a few years ago, and spent a vacation down under, down under as one local put it.  The Tasmanian Devil population is being hurt badly by a cancer that’s spread by contact, so populations have been isolated and a large number (like this one) are in nature preserves as researchers work to solve the disease.
