Meet Newy the Tassie Devil – The Hunter’s Newest Wildlife Star

Newy – a six-month-old Tasmanian Devil

A New Face in Conservation at Aussie Ark

Say hello to Newy – a lively six-month-old Tasmanian Devil now calling Aussie Ark home in the pristine Barrington Tops. Small, speedy, and full of personality, Newy represents hope for one of Australia’s most iconic and endangered native species. Nestled in the scenic hinterland of New South Wales, Aussie Ark has become a vital refuge for wildlife and a driving force in restoring Australia’s wild places.

Aussie Ark: Protecting Australia’s Precious Wildlife

Aussie Ark, the largest independent conservation organisation in New South Wales, has been making remarkable strides for over 15 years. Through its world-class breeding programs, wildlife sanctuaries, and ambitious rewilding projects, the team protects more than 17 threatened native species. From the feisty Tasmanian Devil to the Eastern quoll and the brush-tailed rock wallaby, Aussie Ark is committed to ensuring Australia’s most vulnerable animals thrive once again in their natural habitats.

Newy’s Role in a Bigger Conservation Story

Newy may be small, but he’s part of a much larger story – one of resilience, recovery, and restoration. Every Tasmanian Devil raised at Aussie Ark contributes to the long-term survival of the species. The breeding program has already seen incredible success, with healthy devils now reintroduced into protected wild areas where they can roam freely and help restore balance to the ecosystem.

Supporting Wildlife from the Hunter to Tasmania

The arrival of Newy is also a symbol of regional pride. It highlights how the Hunter community is playing an active role in protecting Australian wildlife, including species from beyond the mainland. By supporting Aussie Ark, locals and visitors alike are helping preserve the natural wonders that make Australia unique – from the forests of Tasmania to the rugged beauty of Barrington Tops.

Aussie Ark’s conservation work relies on donations, community support, and awareness. Every contribution helps provide food, shelter, and breeding programs for endangered animals like Newy. To learn more about the organisation’s incredible work or to make a donation, visit www.aussieark.org.au.
