Mt Amos Climb

Reviewed By Peter_Clare_50

This is more than a walk as there is a lot of rock scrambling. Please make to not do if wet or there has been recent rain as it will be very sloppy in parts. Also make sure you have good hiking shoes and we also found hiking poles and gloves useful. The 3km return trip can take 4 hours but it is worth it - the views are spectacular. A great memory, a must for anyone who likes a bit of adventure.

Australian Convict Sites

Reviewed By johnlC4339UO - Broadstairs, United Kingdom

We spent a morning visiting the various sites at Port Arthur. We had a guided tour with a fantastic guide who was able to explain the history of the various site in great detail. Well worth a visit and we could have spent longer at the site. The boat trip gives a great view of the whole Port Arthur site.

Cascades Female Factory Historic Site

Australia's most significant site associated with female convicts sits in the shadow of Mount Wellington, a short distance from the Hobart CBD. Women were incarcerated here as punishment or while waiting to be assigned. With guards, nurses and babies, up to 1000 people lived here at any one time. Discover the stories of female convicts and their children on a guided tour that operate regularly throughout the day. You can purchase a basic self-guided site entry or choose to join a Heritage Tour or our dramatised performance tours 'The Proud and the Punished.'

We visited this place having been to Port Arthur and found the whole thing thought provoking and interesting, thanks to Shelley for her amazing knowledge and enthusiasm about this place which deserves to be preserved and it’s memories recorded.

Callington Mill

Reviewed By 305vivienneh - Elimbah, Australia

I came here last Friday after spending a few days travelling around Tasmania. I was super impressed by the history of this place and all the other buildings in Oatlands. I even met a local saying you are so lucky living here. It was closed by my husband came across it and we had a good walk around. Such beautiful buildings and the plaques on the fence give you an idea about the history of it being built and who built it. It's quite easy to get an idea on what the mill is about. I fell in love with Oatlands and wished I had stayed another night. It's a beautiful little town with gorgeous english looking buildings. Being a history buff I enjoyed walking around. Yes, it was cold but we survived. If you do visit Oatlands make sure you visit the museum and park. I saw some swans and cute ducks. It's really worth just having a look at the historic buildings if the mill is closed.

The Neck

Reviewed By D6998BVemilyw - Tamworth, Australia

We climbed this twice during our stay. First when we arrived in the early morning and second time that night to see the southern lights. We did see the lights but it wasn’t a dazzling show. More a pulsating black and white show in the south. Great place to see the stars and excellent view of Milky Way. Penguins make their burrows here and if you come at night with a red light ( or red cellophane over your torch) you cdd as n see the penguins coming home. A must do.

Bicheno Blowhole

Reviewed By cboswell35 - Sydney, Australia

Best to arrive in the afternoon, when high tide is in and the swell is big, as you wlll get the best photos. You will need to wait to get the great picture , and have your camera ready and keep it ready as you need to get the picture.

Remarkable Cave

Reviewed By A7022YXpeters - Rockhampton, Australia

Not really a cave’s person but this blew me away. Involves a number of steps to walk down and retreat from the site but definitely worth the effort. This geological phenomenon takes you to a viewing platform at the rear of the cave and depending on the tide the cave will either be empty providing magical views of the ocean on a sunny day or will be filled with water at high tide. At low tide it is possible to climb down and walk through to the beach, though caution is required.
