TASMANIA'S BEAUTIFUL CENTRAL COAST

TASMANIA'S Central Coast is bordered to the west by the Blythe River and east by the Forth River;


from sandy beach to the Black Bluff mountain range; snow-capped in the depths of winter and within sight of the famous Cradle Mountain wilderness.

The stunning Cradle Mountain - Lake St Clair and Walls of Jerusalem National Parks - World Heritage wilderness areas, lie to the south.

Historic Stanley, settled by the Van Diemen’s Land Company in 1827 and famous for its 150-metre, 13 million year-old Nut, is a short drive north west.

Roaring canyons, glow-worm caves, penguins, cool climate wines and Coastal hospitality, are just around the bend.

PENGUIN - named after the colonies of fairy penguins that nest along its foreshore, is in every sense a seaside town. Quaint. Familiar.

Sprayed by the sea on stormy days and overflowing with bargain hunters on Sunday market days, when the town’s old school is crammed with crafts and local fare.

On Penguin’s southern doorstep is the beautiful Dial Range, a 5 200 hectare recreational area of forest reserves, walking and riding trails with spectacular views of the coastline..

ULVERSTONE has retained its character but moves with the times. Centrally positioned between its larger counterparts of Burnie (to the west) and Devonport (to the east), Ulverstone has become the preferred residential and business location for people seeking ready access to the town’s larger urban neighbours.
