Tasmania Part 2









Tasmania

Additional information

Convict Life – Not all convicts were sent to areas such as Sarah Island & Port Arthur this was for secondary or repeat offenders. More info at www.portarthur.org.au/history

Tasmania's Southern Coast Line – In the interview it was mentioned that the coast line was made up with sand stone, it is actually made up of mostly dolerite. Which is quite a hard stone unlike sandstone. Tasmania's sea cliffs are some of the highest in the Southern Hemisphere thanks to the dolerite. Further more the sea cliffs plunge to great depths underwater which brings deep water marine life extremely close to Tasmania's shore line.
