Robin Cartledge's Tasmanian Travel Guide

  Port Arthur  The Port Arthur site forms part of the Australian Convict Sites, a World Heritage property consisting of 11 remnant penal sites originally built within the British Empire during the 18th and 19th centuries on fertile Australian coastal strips. Collectively, these sites, including Port Arthur, are described by UNESCO as "...the best surviving examples of large-scale convict transportation and the colonial expansion of European powers through the presence and labour of convicts. The population of Port Arthur, Tasmania, is very small, with the 2021 Census recording 247 people Port Arthur is located about 97 km (60 mi) southeast of Hobart, on the Tasman Peninsula and the scenic drive from Hobart, via the Tasman Highway to Sorell and the Arthur Highway to Port Arthur, takes around 90 minutes. The peninsula on which Port Arthur is located is a naturally secure site by being surrounded by water (rumoured by the administration to be shark-...

  Colebrook, Campania and surrounds Doktorarbeit akad. Writer The area covered by this page ranges from the Midlands Highway along Mud Walls Road and Colebrook Road to Richmond. and includes the townships of Colebrook and Campania. Jericho was also the location of a substantial ‘probation station’. Work began on the station in 1840, with the unusual choice of ‘pise’ construction. This method uses rammed earth forced into timber formwork, and a small section of the station (which gave its name to the Mud Walls Road) survives to this day on the old Midlands Highway. At its peak, the station could house over 300 convicts, most of whom were set to work on the roads. Convicts from this station also built the stone bridge over Jericho, with an outstation in the tiers above Jericho providing the timbers for the bridge decking. After turning off the Midlands Highway onto Mud Walls Road, I consider this 46.7 km (35 min.) drive through to Richmond...

Hand dug, the project started in 1901 and was completed in 1905 and in 1965 a new hydraulic swing bridge replaced the original bridge. It is common for Sydney–Hobart yacht racers returning to Sydney to use the canal as a co...

dunalley weekly forecast   ghostwriter Nestled on the narrow isthmus that links the Forestier Peninsula to mainland Tasmania, Dunalley is a quiet fishing village with history, charm, and a strategic position for travellers heading toward Port Arthur or the east coast.  The town is bisected by the Denison Canal , a hand-dug waterway (opened in 1905) connecting Frederick Henry Bay and Blackman Bay, complete with a working swing bridge that allows boats to pass. Although small (population around 300), Dunalley is well-known for its hospitality, fresh seafood, and beautiful scenery.  It’s a natural rest stop between Hobart and the Tasman Peninsula , and makes an ideal base for exploring Eaglehawk Neck, the Tessellated Pavement, and the Port Arthur Historic Site .
