Taranna is a small township of 156 on the Tasman Peninsula, about 9 km north of Port Arthur. It's home of the Tasmanian Devil Unzoo, a popular place to see Tasmanian devils.

Tasmanian Devil Conservation Park
Perhaps the first of its kind in Australia, this "unzoo" is specifically dedicated to protecting the devils on the Tasman Peninsula, which are even more special as these devils have been isolated from the rest of Tasmania by the Denison Canal (and thus, many devils here have escaped being a victim of the Devil Facial Tumour Disease). What's unique about this "unzoo" is that it has no fences – meaning the animals and birds that live and visit here come by choice. Obviously, all animals here are native to Tasmania. You may also see some Cape Barren geese following you, and if they do, they're probably also wanting to have a nice stroll like you do.
Accommodation in a cottage with a restaurant onsite (and the only resto in the township).
The township is along the Arthur Highway (A9), the highway connecting Sorell and Port Arthur. It takes about 40–50 minutes from Sorell, as the road is very windy (despite the 100-km/h limit).
