Tasman Peninsula

6th - 8th March 2017

We had a wonderful 2 days on the peninsula, basing ourselves at the Nubeena RSL free camp.  We visited Remarkable Cave, Ferg jumped the fence and walked out through the cave.

We did a lovely 4km walk to Waterfall Bay passing Tasman Arch and Devils Kitchen lookouts. The tour boat in the picture is the one we were going on the next day. The views of the coastline on the walk were amazing.

We went along this coast on the boat the next day

In the afternoon we took a drive up to Lime Bay campground to check it out for a campsite but in the end decided not to move up there.  Called into the convict coal mines historic site. They had it hard working in the mines, the cells were very tiny with no windows.  




Next day we packed up the van early and headed over to Port Arthur to join the Tasman Island Cruise boat.  We had an amazing three hour cruise from Eaglehawk Neck down the eastern coastline to Tasman Island then up into Port Arthur.  It was a good day for it and the seas were relatively calm.  We saw some albatross, lots of fur seals and large pod of dolphins.

The seals had a great time frollicking in the water, right in front of us.







What an incredible coastline, just another amazing Tasmanian experience.
