About Southern Tasmania
Tasmania has regions determined by geography, the south of Tasmania is one of the older settled regions in Australia, and it has many buildings and sites that can trace their origins back into the mid nineteenth century and the convict era. Many Tasmanians did not want to acknowledge the convict past into the late twentieth century, when the convict heritage was being explored in movies, books and sites, to the point that now in the twenty first century, convict culture and legacy is exploited wherever possible.

Located close toHobart, this area is a popular day trip destination and is home to the former penal colony ofPort Arthuralong with many natural wonders withinTasman National Park. TheDerwent Va
