We were driving around the north of Tasmania without a plan and stopped at the information centre. The standard of advice was exceptional, wonderful volunteers who are a credit to the area.

Explore Tasmania’s rich Maritime History at the Bass and Flinders Maritime Museum. Located in Northern Tasmania in historic George Town, the centre shares the journey of explorers Bass and Flinders who sailed the sloop Norfolk right into the Tamar River in 1798. The Centre includes other historic boats that visitors can explore in detail within this unique display including the Tom Thumb and the whale boat Elizabeth. The old picture theatre in George Town was specifically modified to house the sloop. The Norfolk is berthed next to a wharf which is setup with a typical dockside warehouse, complete with crew waiting to go aboard

Very small exhibition, however you can get a discounted ticket to enter here and Bass and Flinders and Pilot station at Low Head. There is a miniature replica of the original township. There is also a art exhibition in another room, and in another room a small exhibition of baby bonnets with information about female convicts and their difficulties especially the high death rate of babies born to these convicts. The volunteers are very friendly and gave us advice on where to drive in town to see some of the surviving original buildings
