If you look at a map of Tasmania, you could be forgiven for thinking that there are barely any roads at all. Think again. Thinly populated and yet home to some of Australia’s earliest settlements, Tasmania combines the human and natural worlds exceptionally well, and our road trips take you there. Hobart is the starting point for some fi ne journeys, not least to the sea cliff s and Port Arthur penal colony on the Tasman Peninsula, and the Heritage Trail that connects some fi ne old towns in the island’s heart. Elsewhere, our drives connect the dramatic east coast and the thickly forested west coast, with Cradle Mountain and the Tamar Valley Gourmet Region in between. Little wonder that Tassie ends up being many visitors’ favourite corner of the country. 5 001-welcome-to-tr-tas1.indd1-welcome-to-tr-tas1.indd 5 223/07/20153/07/2015 44:47:08:47:08 PPMM Sp (Me King irit of Tas Island lbourne– #\ Currie \# Naracoopa m Mt StanleyR a (213m) #\ D nia Bass Strait Grassy evon Seal Fe r p r Bay o ies r t) Hope Channel Three Hummock Tamar Valley Gourmet Hunter Island 3 Hunter Island Trail Good wine and food Passage make this a fine escape from e Woolnorth Walker Launceston. #4–5 DAYS Point Island The Nut Perkins \# Stanley Montagu #\ Bay Studland Rocky Cape Bay Smithton \# ²*A2 National ÷#Park Marrawah #\ Table #\ Cape #\ Bluff Hill Edith Wynyard George \# Burnie Point Creek Town Port #\ ²*A10 Ulverstone #\ Sorell\# \# ÷# Devonport Beaconsfield #\ Savage River Arthur National Park Lake ²*1 Pieman Barrington Conservation Area Black Bluff Waratah #\ R ²*C249 (1339m) R Mole Mount #\Savage Creek \# \# Norfolk River Deloraine (760m) ÷# Mole Creek Cradle #\ #\Cradle Karst Corinna Mountain R National (1545m) Valley Park #\ Lo West Coast Wilderness Rosebery #] Breona 4 The rainforests of the far west ÷# Walls of Great and Cradle Mountain make for #\ Zeehan ÷#Jerusalem Lake \# #\ Cradle Mountain– National a fine adventure.

  • ENACT – Submission to Legislative Council Inquiry Into Built Heritage Tourism in Tasmania – February 2015
    ENACT – submission to Legislative Council Inquiry into Built Heritage Tourism in Tasmania – February 2015 To the Committee Secretary: The following submission is respectfully put forward for consideration by the sub–committee. Addressing the terms of reference of your enquiry: Our built heritage in Tasmania is representative of the diverse nature of our growth from early settler days to some of the iconic buildings of today. Nowhere else in Australia is this diversity so abundant and compacted into such a small geographical area with matching natural beauty. It is unique to Tasmania and we are squandering much of that heritage and the opportunity that goes with it. This seems to be, in part, due the inability for all stakeholders to talk to each other and work together for the common good and realistic outcomes. Your reference points – government, tourism organisations, heritage organisations, other controlling bodies (eg – PWS) each do their own bits of research and work and prepare extensive reports that are printed, read, possibly mentioned in the media and are promptly filed for some future reference. Unless someone in an influential position picks up an idea or project, little happens. Then there are anti-everything groups and NIMBYs that seem to be able to stop any idea, good or bad, in its tracks. No one body seems to be responsible for collating the various reports and agreements (and disagreements) that occur over time. Such a body could facilitate the prioritisation of those projects have support from multiple agencies and stakeholders and bring those parties together to make them happen. A case in point is our own town of Eaglehawk Neck.

  • GRAVITY SURVEY and STRUCTURE of the FORESTIER PENINSULA, SOUTHERN TASMANIA by David Leaman
    Papers and Proceedings of the Royal Society of Tasmania, Volume 131, 1997 77 GRAVITY SURVEY AND STRUCTURE OF THE FORESTIER PENINSULA, SOUTHERN TASMANIA by David Leaman (with 13 text-figures) LEAMAN, D.E.. , 1997 (31 :viii): Gravity survey and structure of the Forestier Peninsula, southern Tasmania. Pap. Proc. R. Soc. Tasm. 131: 77-84. https://doi.org/10.26749/rstpp.131.77 ISSN 0080-4703. Leaman Geophysics, GPO Box 320C, Hobart, Tasmania, Australia 7001 and Geology Department, University of Tasmania, GPO Box 252-79, Hobart, Tasmania, Australia 7001. A gravity survey coupled with review of regionalmapping has shown that the widespread exposure of Jurassic dolerite across the Foresrier Peninsula is due largely to repetition of a thick sheet by gently ramped Tertiary fault-blocks. Feeders for the sheet appear to be located near the centre of the peninsula and to be related to concealed pre-Permian structures, such as granitoid margins. At least two major fault zones were eroded during the mid Tertiary and these, as well as the peninsula ties to mainland Tasmania and the Tasman Peninsula, now consist of Tertiary materialscovered by Recent sands. The western edge of the East Tasmanian batholith extends approximately north­ south beneath the centre of the peninsula. Keywords: Tasmania, dolerite, structure, Forestier Peninsula, faulting, intrusion. INTRODUCTION This paper documents the firstsemi-regional gravity survey and structural interpretation of the Forestier Peninsula (fig. 1). Previous geological work has been largely limited co regional mapping of the main body of the peninsula (Gulline 1982, 1984), sketch mapping of the Eaglehawk Neck area (Banks et af.

  • Changes and Continuations: the Post-Penal
    97 CHANGES AND CONTINUATIONS : THE POST-PENAL SETTLEMENT OF TASMAN PENINSULA, 1877-1914 by Peter MacFie Port Arthur Conservation Project The history of Tasman Peninsula during the initial post-penal period from 1877-1914 is presented and discussed. Settlement of the peninsula after the closure of Port Arthur prison resulted in two distinct communities - one providing recreation facilities and services to tourists and the other dependent on farming, orcharding, logging and fishing. During this period Tasmanians began to come to terms with the convict history represented by Port Arthur, with Eaglehawk Neck and Port Arthur becoming foci for the developing tourism industry. Key Words: Tasman Peninsula, Tasmania, Port Arthur, post-penal settlement, free settlers. From SMITH, S.J. (Ed.), 1989: IS HISTORY ENOUGH?
