Almost its own island, the Tasman Peninsula in Tasmania's south-east is a land apart, with spectacular natural attractions, rugged coastal panorama, gentle landscapes, a maze of walking trails and the island’s most popular attraction, the Port Arthur Historic Site. Considered Australia's premier historic site, the buildings at
Port Arthur are a living reminder of a grizzly convict past, many dating from 1840 and part of a landscape mostly created by convict labour. Past and present merge in this south-eastern area known as the 'Convict Trail', now as popular for its scenery, native fauna, food and wine, and array of outdoor pursuits as for its famous landmarks and fascinating history.
The towns of the Huon Valley in southern Tasmania reflect their origins as fishing villages, river ports and timber settlements. Now people come here for fishing, canoeing and the more adventurous whitewater rafting or jetboat rides, and to experience the natural beauty, charm and heritage of a bygone era. This is the gateway to the Hartz Mountains National Park with its forest walks and picnic spots, and the stunning
Tahune Forest AirWalk. The area is renowned for its produce, mushrooms, wine, seafood, fruit and gourmet delicacies, and celebrates its bounty each March with a weekend-long 'Taste of the Huon' festival.
Hobart has been described as one of the world’s most picturesque cities. The inner city flanks the harbour, Sullivans Cove, while its suburbs spread north and south along the shores of the Derwent River, east to the magnificent ocean beaches at Cremorne,
Lauderdale and Clifton, and west to the dolomite cliffs of Mount Wellington.
