Tasman Council Travel Guide

Tourist Guide

This is a lookout on the walk to shipstern bluff. Incredible lookout and awesome walk altogether that takes you right down to where you see the waves breaking on the far point. Track can be a little confusing, but some trees are marked with blue tape which helps!

Here's a worthwhile short hike for those looking for one in Tasmania. As water pools, and then evaporates, sea salt causes the rock to flake in the middle leaving the joints raised. Nearby is a section where the complete opposite occurs. There, the joints are eroded leaving the middle section raised looking like loaves of bread. #TakeaHike #reflections
Tessellated pavements formed from fractures of one big rock stone. Very fascinating :)
Many of us visit Port Arthur because of the history of the area. What surprised us though was how beautiful the grounds were. We wish we could have spent longer so we could have photographed the scenery as well as learned about the past. #localgems

Just 45 minutes from Hobart, Dunalley is a small town by the sea with a canal and swing bridge separating it from the Tasman Peninsula. Affected but also in a way spared from annihilation which could have befallen them in the disastrous fires that roared through the area in January 2013, Bangor Wine & Oyster Shed sits above the town, overlooking Bangor Vineyard, Blackman Bay, Marion Bay and Norfolk Bay where some of Australia's best oysters are grown. Now it is a stop on the way to or from Port Arthur or a retreat after work on Friday nights when it is open in summer until 9.00pm. Award winning wines, cheese & antipasto platters and dishes of the day plus great coffee make this one of my favourite weekend call-bys. Visit their site: http://www.bangorshed.com.au
