Tasmania's East Coast As seen by Rod Ewins
The East Coast of Tasmania
is arguably the most picturesque region in an island renowned
for its scenic beauty. With a rather dry climate, and generally
the most equable temperatures in Tasmania, the principal industries
are tourism, fishing, and stockfarming (mainly sheep).
The principal towns referred to here are Port Arthur, Sorell, Orford, Triabunna, Swansea, Coles Bay, Bicheno, St Mary's and St Helen's.
