When wildlife expert Simon Plowright discovered an abandoned farm hidden deep in the Tasmanian wilderness it was life-changing experience. Here he found a sanctuary that held a remarkable colony of Eastern Quolls, the undeniably cute but little-known marsupials that today are a threatened species. Simon dubbed this place Quoll Farm, and for the next year he would live and observe these fascinating creatures and the assortment of devils, wombats, eagles and native animals that made this such a special place. Together man and animal would form a special bond – until the moment came that their sanctuary faced extinction.
