Maria Island

Link HOME Link to INDEX Writing in English

A short ferry journey from either Louisville or Triabunna takes you to this peaceful island. Besides the abundant and approachable wildlife (including large forester kangaroos), the island has historic buildings that pre-date the penal settlement at Port Arthur and the remains later commercial ventures. Scuba diving and snorkeling reveal a fascinating array of marine habitats, and walks to mountain summits reward visitors with panoramic views of the island and of Tasmania's east coast. There are no shops on the island so once there visitors must be self sufficient.
