Convict Coal Mine historic site - Tasman Peninsula

Convict Coal Mine ruins at Saltwater River The main Convict Precinct Excavated in 1833, the coal mines were used to punish the worst convicts, who worked here in extremely poor conditions. Developed to limit the colony’s dependence on costly imported coal from New South Wales, as well as serving as a place of punishment for the “worst class” of convicts from Port Arthur, the mine was operational for over 40 years. The main section of the site with the car-park upper left Coal Mine Walks There are ten walks in the area - each with its own specific interests, including: 1.

Gold, gold, gold! Fossicking at Lefroy

Lefroy: The six pub town I have always found it rather interesting that the population and wealth of Australian historic mining areas seem to be always measured by the number of pubs (hotels) it had. Lefroy sits around 15 km south-east of the cottage and 58 km north-east of Launceston. Originally known as Nine Mile Springs it was changed to Lefroy in 1881 after the visit by the Acting Governor, Sir Henry Lefroy. It was a bustling town, which is said to have contained 5,000 people in its peak boom period of 1890-95. It was the fourth largest town in Tasmania,. Gold was known to exist in the hills around Lefroy in the 1840s, but exploration was discouraged because of a fear that the convicts would find out and rebel. Though now only a sleepy rural town with no retail activity at all, Lefroy had a race track, rifle club, cricket club and brass band. There were six hotels, three churches, a state and private grammar school, a masonic lodge and mechanics institute. The town h...

Taranna & Norfolk Bay - Tasman Peninsula

Taranna Taranna is a tiny hamlet on the Arthur Highway, on the way to Port Arthur, around 10km from Eaglehawk Neck, with an estimated population of 277 residents. It is believed that 'taranna' is the local Aboriginal word for 'kangaroo'. Taranna's main attractions are the Tasmanian Devil Conservation Park, Unzoo , the Tasman Historical Museum & Coffee Shop , and The Norfolk Bay Convict Station . Its real claim to fame, however, is that it was the terminus for the infamous human 'railway' which ran between the jetty at Little Norfolk Bay and Port Arthur and was powered by four convicts pushing the carriages along the crude 7 km of track. Norfolk Bay and Port Arthur Tramway ~~~~~~ NOTE: Clicking on 'coordinates' will take you to the appropriate Google map.
