	Tasmania Series
		Much of the Tasmana Peninsula's natural appeal is lost in the advertising and marketing of the convict era focusing on the Port Arthur convict site.

	Tasman Peninsula
		The rugged coastline, featuring Australia's highest sea cliffs; the deceptive and dangerous tidal shelf of Shipstern Bluff which, when weather and tide are right, creates the country's biggest and steepest waves; the curious dolerite sentinels that protect Tasman Island and Cape Huay, and its hidden coves and bays, are worth the visit alone.
		Then, there are the beaches — the squeaky-clean white sand of Safety Cove, the long safe arc of White Beach with its shallow waters, the many protected coves off Koonya, and the fossicker's delight, Shelley Beach.
		The Tasman Peninsula is also home to giant wedgetail and sea eagles, yellow-tailed fl cockatoos, many species of honeyeaters, blue wrens, pardalottes, and many others, which make it a popular destination for birdwatchers.
