Conservation groups released 26 of the mammals into a large sanctuary in Barrington Tops, north of Sydney.


It's thought that packs of dingoes helped eradicate them on the mainland.


There are still some on the island state of Tasmania but their numbers have dwindled over the past two decades.


The Tasmanian devil, classified as endangered, gets its name from its high-pitch squeal and is renowned for fighting over access to animal carcases, which it grinds with the bone-crushing force of its jaws.
