Tasmania Cruising Guide Resources and Notes: Anchorage positions marked in MAROON are from our personal experience sailing Tasmanian waters since 2008. All other anchorage positions are from reliable sources such as: Other experienced yachtsmen, charter skippers, fishermen, and publications. We wish to thank Marine and Safety Tasmania and the Royal Yacht Club of Tasmania for their contributions. Tourist information, facilities and historical notes are from our personal experience or from sources such as The supplier Tourist Bureau information A number of publications including: 1/ Maritime Tasmania – A Cruising Guide with historical notes and coastal photography by J. Brettingham-Moore. 1988 2/ Parks and Wildlife Tasmania – Map of allowable anchorage areas and motorized craft limits. 3/ King of the Wilderness by Christobel Mattingley – Deny King spent fifty years living self- sufficiently in the rugged Tasmanian south-west and became internationally renowned for his exploits on land and sea. 4/ Two’s a Crew by Jack and Jude – Four chapters on Port Davey anchorages, best storm protection, history, climbs, walks, Melaleuca. 5/ MAST Marine and Safety Tasmania 6/ RYCT Royal Yacht Club of Tasmania INTERNET is available in the more built up areas. In the past, Telstra had the best coverage by leagues, but in recent years Optus has erected many more towers. Nevertheless, we have found Telstra coverage is still superior. There will be no coverage in Port Davey nor once 10 miles south of Strahan. This is NOT an exhaustive or even a complete listing of all Tasmanian anchorages and marine facilities. But it does describe the more frequently visited anchorages and facilities and also guides visitors to some of Tasmania’s more remote and scenically beautiful locations.

This quaint delightful city beneath the protection of The Mountain with its fluted organ pipes standing proud and tall before some of Australia’s best waterways that spread from it like the blue folds of royalty. Tasmania’s east coast has everything. There are lonely bays backed by green forests while around an abrupt point lay the heinous remains of a convict settlement dating back to our earliest history. The fishing is some of the best, the walks are the best, and if you can handle the changeable weather and sometimes immense seas then an experience of a lifetime awaits you on Tasmania’s East Coast. Non-stop action will start a few days after Boxing Day when the Sydney Hobart fleet rounds Tasman Island and races those last miles into Constitution Dock. See our YouTube clip of the 2012 race. A few short weeks later every odd year, one of the world’s greatest spectacles, the unique Wooden Boat Show will occupy the waterfront, followed shortly in mid-February by the start of the Van Diemens Land Circumnavigation, a challenging 800 nautical mile cruise-in-company around Tasmania with experienced, friendly people. NOTE: All GPS positions are Approximate. Mariners are advised to be prudent and not to trust this information without proper diligence. Although every effort has been made to check the accuracy of the details, the editors and authors do not imply or accept any responsibility for the accuracy, authenticity, or validity of the contents. Page 6 of 127 HOBART Let’s begin our tour in Tasmania’s capital city where every facility will be found in one of the prettiest cities in Australia. Well sheltered marinas are available for visitors. We prefer living right downtown in Constitution Dock where a short walk takes us to so many places of interest like the museum, art gallery, and maritime display. Comprehensive shopping is close by, provision at the downtown Woolies or Salamanca Market, and numerous restaurants, bookstores, variety shops, as well as several pubs are within minutes of your vessel. For more peaceful surroundings, the Royal Yacht Club offers visitor berths with a 20 minute walk to town. Free anchorage can be found either off Battery Point, which is close to Salamanca, or off Sandy Point at Nutgrove Beach near the Wrest Point Casino, a very long walk to the city. Other anchorages and marinas can be found upstream of the Tasman Bridge. Page 7 of 127 Constitution Dock, Elizabeth Pier Upon arrival, either contact Port Control on Ch 16 or Ch 88, or telephone Tas Ports directly on 0362310693 to see if space is available. If proceeding to Con Dock, you will be instructed to enter Kings Pier and tie alongside the wharf on the right side of the lifting bridge where a Tas Ports Official will have you complete the necessary paperwork. You will need to show public liability insurance. Credit Card Payment is preferred. When ready, the lifting Bridge will be raised for you to proceed into the basin. Be aware of your mast clearing this bridge. We prefer mooring on the left side after the bridge, it’s the quietest as no road passes, but it is often full. Second best, directly right after the bridge, closest to the showers, quiet traffic. But if you want the full blast of Hobart, proceed straight across to the main street. In our two visits, each a month, we’ve not experienced any security issues. Great hot showers and laundry facilities. Elizabeth Pier is quieter without street frontage and has cafes with outdoor seating adjacent to the berth.

  • Cape Wickham Lighthouse 150 Anniversary Event Programme
    Cape Wickham Lighthouse 150th Anniversary Event Programme 3 – 7 November 2011 www.kingislandlight150.com A project of King Island Tourism Inc, King Island Council & the Australian Maritime Safety Authority (AMSA) Final Version 26 October 2011 The Story of the Lighthouse King Island‟s “Beacon of Bass Strait” is about to come-of-age! The Cape Wickham Lighthouse on the northernmost tip of King Island started service on 1st November 1861 – 150 years ago. King Island, located at the western entrance to Bass Strait, is an island rich in history with shipwrecks, lighthouses and jagged reefs. It is blessed with an abundance of long stretching sandy beaches and lush green pasture. From this little paradise are produced some of Australia's finest natural foods for which the Island is probably best known including grass fed beef, cheese, crayfish & abalone and yet there is more to this 64km long by 27km wide stretch of land than first meets the eye. The 48m tall Cape Wickham Lighthouse began operating 150 years ago on November 1st 1861 and has been in continuous operation since that first night providing - 150 years of saving lives. 150 years of guidance and direction for shipping 150 years of community capacity building 150 years of very unique history. Cape Wickham is at the northernmost tip of King Island and the 88km gap between Cape Otway (Victoria) and Cape Wickham was often a trap for the unwary Ship‟s Master seeking entry into Bass Strait. The Western entrance has become the graveyard to at least 18 ships nearing the end of their long voyages.

  • A Biological Monitoring Survey of Reef Biota Within Bathurst Channel, Southwest Tasmania 2010 Neville Barrett, Elizabeth Oh, Lisa Meyer, Dane Jones and Graham Edgar
    A BIOLOGICAL MONITORING SURVEY OF REEF BIOTA WITHIN BATHURST CHANNEL, SOUTHWEST TASMANIA 2010 NEVILLE BARRETT, ELIZABETH OH, LISA MEYER, DANE JONES AND GRAHAM EDGAR Executive Summary The benthic reef communities of Bathurst Channel represent an important feature for the ongoing management of Tasmania‟s marine ecology and diversity. Containing a number of fragile deep-water invertebrate species growing at accessibly shallow depths, the reef habitats are both susceptible to impacts and of scientific importance. The foundation for this study was the continuing need for a practical, quantitative monitoring program which will provide information on species composition, species distribution throughout the channel, and detect any changes occurring over time. The survey, conducted in March 2010, collected digital image data from depth intervals ranging from the intertidal zone to 20 metres depth at 13 monitoring sites extending throughout Bathurst channel, and compared it to baseline imagery taken in 2002. The high resolution imagery collected in 2010 was used to create a descriptive catalogue of the biota observed, which can be used for future monitoring and species referencing. Species and substrate percentage cover in the photos was analysed using an easily repeatable point count method (CPCe) where data files can be stored and reanalysed. The information collected described the changes in species composition along Bathurst Channel, and thus provided some insight into the relevant environmental and biological factors limiting the distribution of algal and invertebrate species throughout the estuary. Results were consistent with previous descriptions of the community types within the Channel, showing that this system is inherently stable over these time frames.

  • Tas Talk… the Movie the Cast, Their Stories and the Best Supporting Actress…Tasmania
    TAS TALK… THE MOVIE THE CAST, THEIR STORIES AND THE BEST SUPPORTING ACTRESS…TASMANIA Kayaking on the Pieman River © Michael Walters Photography Behind the Scenes, Hobart © HypeTV –––– A journey to Tasmania is a rare chance to disconnect from stress and reconnect with the things that matter. Geographic isolation has contributed to unique biodiversity, and it has also fostered a rare community of creative, down-to-earth, resourceful people with time to make you feel welcome. We are all working in unusual circumstances and although this year we were unable to deliver our much sought after TasTalk trade event in its standard format, we know you need to connect with Tasmanian tourism operators. So, we are bringing the TasTalk trade event experience to you! This is TasTalk...The Movie, an opportunity for you to listen and connect with Tasmanians over a live platform. Featuring the stars of our tourism industry, this is set to be a movie like you have never seen before. One of the joys of travelling in Tasmania is not just the chance to taste produce straight from the farm and ocean, but the ease of meeting the makers at cellar doors, farm gates and local markets. And with four distinct seasons, there’s always something new to see, taste and feel. TasTalk...The Movie will speak to all of this and more. Tasmania is a place for adventure, however, you define it. Whether the view is from the privacy of a hot tub in a forest, or from a kayak for two, or fireside with Tassie whisky and friends, the world looks different from Tasmania.
