Tasmania Top 10 things to do & see
These are the absolute highlights for a visit to Tasmania, Australia. The island of Tasmania is located 250 km south of the mainland of Australia and can be reached by boat or airplane. It is named after the Dutch explorer Abel Tasman. The island has a population of about 500.000 and the capital is Hobart.
1. Cradle Mountain - surrounded by glacial lakes, ancient rainforest, and unusual alpine vegetation. From here you can start the Overland Track.
2. Bay of Fires - Fabulously coloured stones in this Bay, but the name of the bay comes from the many fires of Tasmanian Aboriginals that were seen by Thomas Furneaux in 1773.
3. Maria Island - The island is shaped like a number eight and is completely protected as a national park. You can enjoy the fossilated cliffs and the painted cliffs at low tide
4. Wineglass Bay - Freycinet National park harvests the perfectly curved Wineglass Bay
5. Launceston - The largest single span chairlift over the fabulous Cataract Gorge
6. South West National Park - Tasmania's largest national park harvests wild rivers and rugged mountains. It is very desolate, so bring all your supplies with you.
7. Port Arthur Historic Site - Marvel at the spooky ruins and restored homes where many convicts were being punished from the prison's establishment in1830 until its closure in 1877
8. Remarkable Cave - This cave is really remarkable. At low tide you can walk through the cave, but at high tide you have to avoid the big waves
9. Penguin - watching penguins come ashore on the north coast of Tasmania
10. Hobart - Panoramic views from Mount Wellington to Bruny Island, South Arm and the Tasman Peninsula

City Description:
Port Arthur is a village and historic site in southern Tasmania, Australia. Sitting on the Tasman Peninsula, it was a 19th-century penal settlement and is now an open-air museum. Ruins include the huge penitentiary and the remaining shell of the Convict Church, which was built by inmates. Solitary confinement cells in the Separate Prison building were used to inflict mental punishment in place of floggings.Convicts who perished in the penal settlement were buried on the Isle of the Dead, across Carnarvon Bay. In the mid-1800s, scores of young boys were incarcerated at the Point Puer Boys’ Prison, which was notorious for its oppressive rule. South of the historic site, Remarkable Cave is a natural oceanside tunnel passing through a sandstone cliff. The surrounding bushland offers hiking trails, as well as beaches at Crescent Bay and Safety Cove. Southwest, Ship Stern Bluff is a rocky headland with panoramic views over the vast Tasman Sea.
Weather and Events:
Summer (Dec–Feb), when temperatures are mild, is a popular time for bushwalking and coastal hikes. Winter (Jun–Aug) is chilly and often wet.
