The Channel Museum tells the many, varied, and quirky stories of the pioneers of the D’Entrecasteaux Channel, south of Hobart and adjacent to Bruny Island, providing a comprehensive insight into the life of early settlers in regional Tasmania. Our museum has been established for nearly 47 years, is community owned and volunteer operated, and situated in Margate, 20 km south of Hobart. We welcome independent travelers, tour groups and cruise ship visitors. The Channel Museum was presented with a Bronze Award for Cultural Tourism in 2017 by the Tourism Industry Council of Tasmania.
The Channel Museum in Margate is only 20 minutes from Hobart & a hidden gem in the area. A small, casual cafe fronts an amazing museum with wonderful displays & relics of a bygone era. We were fortunate in our guide, Andrew, as he was very informative & knowledgeable. The museum is operated by volunteers & admission is for a nominal donation. Highly recommend to those interested in our colonial history.

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
