Day 1 - Hobart to Orford via Maria Island National Park

Leave Hobart and travel through Sorrell, where you can stock up on supplies or stop for fish and chips. From here, curve inland to the tiny holiday town of Orford, on the mouth of the Prosser River and on to Triabunna where you can take a ferry to Maria Island. With no shops or cars, the island is a tranquil bushwalking and wildlife haven. Climb to the cliff-tops on the challenging Bishop and Clark or walk to the Painted Cliffs and Fossil Cliffs, filled with sea creature sediments more than 300 million years old. See the threatened Cape Barren geese, forrester kangaroos, and Flinders Island wombats or scuba dive the marine reserve in the island�s northern end. Visit Bloodstone Point, where the Oyster Bay Aboriginal tribe collected stones to make hair colouring. Then wander the remains of the convict settlement in Darlington and learn about the failed Italian entrepreneur who turned their brick-and-stone buildings into a resort-style hotel. The vines and silk worm trees he planted remain today. Sleep in the old penitentiary, at one of the many campsites across the island or return to Triabunna or Orford for the night., australia, australian tourism, travel australia, visit australia, maps, australian cities
