**History of the Huon Valley Area** Located on the Huon River 39 km southwest of Hobart, Huonville is a small but thriving community serving the surrounding apple, timber and hops industries. Although it is relatively small Huonville is recognised as the major centre in the Huon Valley. > >
 * The Huon River was first explored by the French Admiral, Bruni D'Entrecasteaux, who named it, a nearby island, a soft pine and the Kermandie River, after the commander of his support vessel, L'Esperance, Captain Huon de Kermadec.
 * The name of the Huon is derived from [|Jean-Michel Huon de Kermadec], an 18th-century French explorer who was 2nd in command to [|Antoine Bruni d'Entrecasteaux], who navigated the area.
 * The Huon Valley, [|Huonville], [|Huon River], [|Huon Pine], Port Huon, Glen Huon and the [|Electoral division of Huon] are all named for him. The former Municipality of Esperance was named for his ship.[|[3]]
 * As far as can be determined the local Aborigines didn't settle in the Huon Valley although it is true that when d'Entrecasteaux entered the river in 1792 his party did make contact with an Aboriginal girl Oura-Oura near the present site of Cygnet.

The establishment of the British settlement at Hobart Town in 1804 led to the exploration of the area by the botanist Robert Brown but he dismissed it as unsuitable for settlement because of poor soil. This did not stop the timber getters and whalers from camping in the area while searching for stands of timber and schools of whales.
 * It is thought that the first white man to settle permanently in the area was a 'bolter', an escaped convict, who was found by timber getters in early 1820s. The man, whose name was Martin, had built a primitive camp near Price's Creek.
 * Later, as settlement began along the banks of the river, Martin became absorbed into the local community. He owned two boats with the unusual names of the Fighting Pig and the Crooked Eye and was well regarded.

The first land grants in the district were made to John Price at the present site of Franklin in late 1834. He was followed by John Clark who, in 1836, took up land north of Price's Landing and the Kellaway family who settled on the opposite shore at Woodstock.

Died: Lady jane Franklin 18 July 1875 (aged 83), London, England

||< ===Lady Jane Franklin, the wife of Governor Sir John Franklin===

Jane Franklin loved travel, climbing Mount Wellington, going with Sir John to the West Coast, exploring the mainland and New Zealand. Surely some local women admired this independent lifestyle, rare for woman at the time; and when feminism took off in the 1970s, she became an icon.

Jane gave her husband credit for any success, but most of the Franklins’ activities were due to her, especially the organisation which made them actually happen. Sir John’s major scheme was establishing the Hobart regatta.

The Franklins were shocked at the lack of cultural institutions and the indifference of early colonists. Jane was an exceptionally resourceful and talented woman who envisaged and brought about the erection of a classical building along the lines of a Greek temple… to ensure the continuance of cultural aspirations of the future colony. When completed the Museum contained sculptures, books and pictures.

The Franklins left behind an improved cultural milieu. To encourage learning and improvement they founded the Tasmanian Natural History Society (later the Royal Society) and brought out a scientific journal; they encouraged education, both government and a short-lived Anglican secondary school; and Lady Franklin built a small classical temple surrounded by a native plant garden, supported the idea of a museum and generally encouraged scientific and literary pursuits. They founded the Hobart regatta and Lady Franklin established a settlement in the Huon. Her interest in the fate of the Aborigines led her to adopt an Aboriginal girl, Mathinna.

From the [|Australian Dictionary of Biography], “in 1839 Lady Franklin bought 130 acres (53 ha) of land near Hobart Town for a botanical garden, to which she gave the name Ancanthe. Here a museum of natural history was built for her, on the model of a Greek temple, and to it the collections she had been forming in Government House were removed. They and the accompanying library were dispersed in 1853” and the little temple was left to become a packing shed for apples. It wasn’t until a century later that it finally became an art gallery. || The district began to develop in the 1840s and 1850s when both apples and hops were grown with some success.
 * In 1839 Lady Franklin bought John Price's land and divided it into 50 and 100 acre blocks which she had cleared and sold to poor, free settlers.
 * She purchased 640 acres from John Price at Price's Creek.
 * Price was a particularly nasty piece of work who had been the Muster Master of convicts in Hobart and the Commandant of Norfolk Island from 1846-1853. He was so intensely disliked that in 1857 he was murdered by convicts in Victoria. No fewer than 15 convicts attacked him and seven of them were hanged for the crime.
 * Lady Franklin had a vision of the kind of settlement she wanted to create in the Huon Valley and was prepared to back her commitment with financial assistance. She did much to help the settlers including, as she mentioned in a letter to her sister in England, giving one family a milk goat and the next year buying it back because they were in such bad straits.

 * St Johns Church has important associations with the early social and religious history of the Huon community. Early worship in the Franklin district was conducted in a small timber church, dedicated to St Mary, erected c1840, on land given by Lady Franklin. On 13 June 1855,
 * Archdeacon Davies wrote to Bishop Nixon, emphasizing the urgent need for a new church in the growing township. Nixon sought assistance from the government, under the provision of the Church Act, 1837. The government had already committed its budgeted funds, however, and the request for government assistance appears to have lapsed.
 * Following the ordination and appointment of the Reverend Thomas Stanfield, sufficient funds were raised publicly, and the foundation stone of the new building was laid on 9 February 1863 by Archdeacon Davies. Henry Hunter was appointed architect, and his original design included a nave, chancel, tower and spire. Only the nave and the base of the tower were completed initially. The contractor was John Rait, and the cost, 600 pounds.

Hope Island ruin gets some TLC > Tasmania Parks and Wildlife Service
 * Works are under way at Hope Island to stabilise an historically important ruin that was part of the former Hope Island Probation Station, which operated from 1844-1847. Hope Island is the largest of the three small islands a short distance from Dover; the others being Faith and Charity.
 * The Hope Island Probation Station was an outstation of the Dover Probation Station. In 1847 there were 18 convicts on the island under an assistant superintendent; the men being primarily engaged in growing vegetables. Around 1848, shortly after abandonment of the probation station, the island was leased for private farming. By 1851 some of the buildings were already reported as falling in ruins.
 * The Assistant Superintendent’s Quarters is the most prominent of the ruins on the island. It was a basic Georgian style cottage built from local field stone bonded with the rich red clay of the island. It was originally whitewashed and had a timber shingled roof. PWS rangers, field officers and heritage staff have recently been working with a local stonemason to stabilise the building by rebuilding the collapsed western wall.

<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">**Australia's southernmost settlement**

<span style="background-color: #ffffff; font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; font-size: 13.28px; line-height: 19.92px;"> Like most of the southwest coast Southport was first explored by Admiral Bruni D'Entrecasteaux in 1792 who named the bay 'Baie des Moules' (Mussel Bay). <span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"> <span style="background-color: #ffffff; font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; font-size: 13.28px; line-height: 1.5;"> Located 104 km southwest of Hobart, Southport can claim to be the southernmost settlement in Australia. <span style="color: #323232; font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">A sleepy coastal village off the main road. In the early 1800s Southport was a convict station, bustling mill town and international port. <span style="color: #323232; font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"> Being Tasmania's second largest town at that time, it was proposed as the capital of the colony. Today, it is just a nice quiet spot to relax, go swimming, sail the calm waters of Southport Bay, walk on the beach or a little fishing. <span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"> Southport township was founded on 16th February 1864 but the Southport Probation Station was built in 1841. To Southport there were sent 500 male convicts.
 * <span style="background-color: #ffffff; font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; font-size: 13.28px; line-height: 1.5;">It can, however, hardly claim to be a settlement of much significance any more, a far cry from the early 1800's when it was Tasmania's second largest town and it was proposed as the capital of the colony.
 * <span style="color: #323232; font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; line-height: 1.5;">Where is it?: 104 km south west of Hobart, in the Huon Valley.
 * <span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">Southpor t was the southern most probation station built right on the shore a few miles north of the whaling settlement of Recherche Bay.
 * <span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; font-size: 90%;">Southport probation station situated near the Southern entrance of the D'Entrecasteaux Channel, a few miles North of Recherche Bay. Hobart 60 miles distant, communication by water, reach Hobart easily in fair winds in one day.

<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; font-size: 90%;">Originally opened for procuring timber, more recently reception of prisoners on primary probation. Station stands close to the shore, front parade rises supported by piles.

<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; font-size: 90%;">Buildings generally of very tolerable description - paving for four feet around the huts so as to throw water draining from the roof's clear of the buildings foundations.

<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; font-size: 90%;">Accommodation for about 500 men in the wards, and 30 in the separate apartments. Two mess rooms - one large and not in good repair, it is old and floor of loose earth. Cook house and bake house large and fair buildings made of wood with a brick wall around them.

<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; font-size: 90%;">There are three yards quite distinct, one laid with good gravel and two with sand.

<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; font-size: 90%;">Old huts built to accommodate 40 men each, front the station towards the sea, are very good, each hut quite distinct but sleeping places are narrow in some wards.

Doors are placed alternately in one yard, or the other opposite in a manner similar to Cascades Female Factory in Hobart. Built of brick with a high brickwall around the yards. || <span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; font-size: 90%;">Solitary cells not very well ventilated, but secure, sidewalls carried forward to prevent communication between inmates. 30 additional cells nearly completed.

<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; font-size: 90%;">Hospital one large room, rather crowded and hot, eleven men were in it, Dispenser's room small.

<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; font-size: 90%;">Very good Chapel divided by partitions, one part for officers and three divisions for the three distinct classes of prisoners.

<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; font-size: 90%;">Books for circulating amongst men, kept in small room off chapel. <span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; font-size: 90%;">Attendance at school tolerable but no great improvement reported.

 * <span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; font-size: 90%;">There are 361 prisoners on the station including 50-60 boys under twenty years, the youngest about 14 - these are kept in distinct gang from the men as much as possible during day and entirely separated at night from the men.

<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; font-size: 90%;">All older classes of convicts have been removed, now solely those from the 'John Soames' and 'Lord Auckland'. Men separated as much as possible being distributed in three classes. 2nd and 3rd are mixed at work but as those of 3rd class are under separate treatment, all classes are kept distinct at night and meal times. || <span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; font-size: 90%;">Supply of all description of timber is inexhaustible. Iron tram roads are laid in different directions so conveyance of timber to water's edge is performed without any difficulty.

<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; font-size: 90%;">Abundant supply of shells for lime, and of good clay, also good stone for building and paving - all close at hand. || <span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; line-height: 1.5;"> When Governor Dennison visited the station in April 1848 he wrote of > ‘inspecting 130 of the greatest scoundrels in the world; young villains from sixteen to twenty-five years of age, and of the most incorrigible habits; they are sent down here to be as far as possible from the settled parts of the island.

Discovery
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">On September 28th 1791 two ships sailed from Brest. Significantly renamed Recherche and Esprance they represented the hopes and aspirations of an emerging new revolutionary order. <span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; line-height: 1.5;">The next day the two ships were towed by their long boats into the northern arm of the bay just beyond the present Bennett's Point named by the Hydrographer, Beautemps-Beaupr, Port du Nord. So impressed by the beauty and tranquility of their surrounding the normally unemotional d'Entrecasteaux was moved to record in his journal <span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"> <span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"> Over the next 26, days the Bay saw much activity. The ships were careened, timber was cut for repairs and the making of charcoal. The botanists Labillardire, Riche and Ventenat busily collected, catalogued and preserved hundreds of hitherto unknown flora and fauna including the Eucalyptus Globulus, Tasmanian Blue gum which later on became the state emblem.
 * France was experiencing a time of great change. King Louis XVI and his family were no longer autocratic rulers and amore egalitarian Constituent Assembly was in place. Several years before Comte de La Prouse had led an expedition of exploration and scientific research into the Pacific. By 1791 he hadn't been heard of for three years not since sending dispatches home from Botany Bay.
 * In response to this an expedition was mounted under the command of Rear­ Admiral Bruni d'Entrecasteaux to discover the fate of La Prouse and to engage in scientific study in the South Pacific. He chose his close friend and fellow officer, Huon de Kermadec to command the Esprance.
 * Some of the best French scientists applied to join the Expedition, no expense was spared in outfitting the ships and every crew member was deliberately chosen to ensure a successful voyage. By and large most of the officers were Royalists and most of the scientists were Republicans, reflecting the current political trend in France.

 * Battered by unrelenting storms the two bedraggled vessels sighted the coast on Van Diemen's Land on the 21 st of April, 1792.
 * Due to a navigational error, 19 west instead of 19 East the ships found themselves outside the entrance to a large harbour. Concerned over unfavourable winds and nearby threatening reefs d'Entrecasteaux sent long boats ahead into the bay to do soundings while the two ships tacked for two hours across the entrance. At 4:50 the Admiral signaled 'anchors down' and the weary crew complied.
 * But where were they?
 * "...Trees of an immense height and proportionate diameter, their branchless trunks covered with evergreen foliage, some looking as old as the world;
 * "...Nature in all her vigour, and yet in a state of decay, seems to offer to the imagination something more picturesque and more imposing than the sight of this same nature bedecked by the hand of civilised man.

Recherche Bay
<span style="color: #323232; font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 1.5;">A quiet, idyllic bay in the far south of Tasmania beyond the Huon Valley. <span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"> With such an intense boating industry, and with early access to this area only possible by sea, there was demand for ship-building and local timber-milling was established. <span style="color: #323232; display: block; font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; vertical-align: top;"> From a scientific perspective, the northern peninsula of Recherche Bay was the site, in 1792, of the first deliberate scientific experiment in Australia. This was a geomagnetic measurement undertaken by French naval officer Elisabeth Paul Edouard de Rossel, showing that goemagneticism varied with latitude. It was an experiment of international significance. People, who by their association with the place, cause the place to have national heritage value, are two members of the 1792 and 1793 French expedition –Labillardiere, botanist, and Rossel, in modern terms, a ‘geoscientist’. The bay was the first landing place of French explorer Bruny D'Entrecasteaux who came ashore here for water and stayed for a number of weeks in 1792 to rest his crew and complete maintenance on his ships. <span style="color: #323232; display: block; font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; vertical-align: top;"> <span style="color: #323232; display: block; font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; vertical-align: top;">
 * The original inhabitants of this area were the Aboriginal people known as the Lyluequonny. Their first encounter with Europeans was with the French, an amicable meeting which could be considered a ‘cultural exchange’. The French expeditions were focused on the scientific study of native flora, fauna, geology and the waterways of Van Diemen’s Land.
 * Recherche Bay itself, sheltered from the wildest weather, provided some safe harbour for the influx of early settlers, sealers and convicts. Early industries based initially on coal-mining and whaling became established.
 * Coal was sent to Hobart and the oil produced from whales helped the emerging colony with lighting, cooking and the manufacture of soaps and corsets. The bronze whale sculpture that presently sits at Adams Point pays homage to this history.
 * <span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; line-height: 1.5;">One of the features of this somewhat sheltered coastline was that tall forest eucalypts grew close to the shore, making for convenient, though still dangerous, harvesting. Timber was not only required for the local collieries and boat building, but for housing and domestic needs.
 * <span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; line-height: 1.5;">A number of mills were established around the bay over time, with one mill at Cockle Creek run by women during World War II. Tram tracks spread out into the bush to retrieve logs from the hinterland.
 * In Recherche Bay during the early part of the 20th century, it appears that the men fished, farmed, worked the mines, the timber mills & were grateful for road making work when it was offered. Some 3000 people lived in the area at the time.

 * Recherche Bay is a natural area in the south-eastern corner of Tasmania.
 * The terrestrial area is dominated by mixed aged tall and dry Eucalyptus obliqua forest with a history of forest harvesting. Beneath the variable E. obliqua canopy, the understorey consists of a sedge and shrub layer and is made up of species typical of the surrounding area.
 * The ground layer consists mainly of cutting grass (Gahnia grandis) and bracken (Pteridium aquilinum) whilst the shrub layer contains species such as prickly moses (Acacia verticillata) and silver banksia (B. marginata). Parts of the area include reasonably extensive coastal wetlands dominated by sedges and other plants.

 * In 1792 D`Entrecasteaux`s expedition sailed up the channel, now bearing his name, charting the coastline & naming features.
 * He named the large bay at the top of the channel, North West Bay. The expedition anchored there to collect fresh water. Many aborigines were observed in the area.
 * The Tasmanian Aboriginal community has a strong association with the place that is of outstanding significance to the nation because Recherche Bay is associated with the best documentary evidence of Aboriginal culture before European settlement.
 * There are a three small settlements on Recherche Bay Catamaran, Recherche Bay and Cockle Creek. These are the most southern communities in Australia.
 * A signpost at Cockle Creek marks the most southerly point in Australia accessible by motor vehicle.
 * The southern tip of Tasmania, Australia s southern extremity, which marks the beginning of the South West Walk, is just an hour s walk away.
 * Where is it?: 80 km south of Southport.
 * Coal found on North Point by D Entrecasteaux was mined by a team of 43 convicts from 1841 to 1848.
 * Mining was abandoned because of seepage in its two shafts due to the mine being so close to sea level.

T31. The Waterhole, D'Entrecasteaux Watering Point, Recherche Bay
>> "Under calm conditions the following morning both vessels were safely towed by invigorated oarsmen into the bay. They anchored in the northern sector, later termed the Port du Nord, or ‘little bay’, today the unimaginative Pig Sties Bay. They moored over 100 metres from the beach north of Bennetts Point; Recherche lay some 70 metres north of Espérance.
 * //Registered//
 * It is the site of the first botanical collecting in Tasmania by Bruni D'Entrecasteaux's 1792 expedition, and all the plants described then are still to be found in the Southport area, including the Tasmanian bluegum Eucalyptus globulus, the floral emblem of Tasmania.
 * In the autumn of 1792 a pair of storm-battered French ships, their crews weatherbeaten and tired, dropped grateful anchor in waters off Tasmania’s south-east coast.
 * The peaceful waterway was later named D’Entrecasteaux Channel and the kidney-shaped bay they chose for their rest and repair became known as Recherche Bay.

 * <span style="color: #323232; font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">The historic place comprises the northern headland of Recherche Bay incorporating the camping and operational sites of the expedition (including the garden site, observatory, boat repair site and related work areas, and crew camping area).

 * <span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">Over the next 26, days the Bay saw much activity. The ships were careened, timber was cut for repairs and the making of charcoal.
 * The botanists Labillardire, Riche and Ventenat busily collected, catalogued and preserved hundreds of hitherto unknown flora and fauna including the Eucalyptus Globulus, Tasmanian Blue gum which later on became the state emblem.
 * Hydrographers Beautemps-Beaupr, Willaumez and others set of in the long boats to chart previously unknown parts of the coast. Their maps were used for generations by other mariners.
 * Rossel set up an observatory on what is now Bennett's Point and discovered Geo-magnetism od great significance to navigational science. An event commemorated by the unveiling of a plaque on the site by the CSIRO during a seminar held in Hobart in 1992.
 * [[image:https://fiftytoeswalkabout.files.wordpress.com/2014/12/recherche-bay.jpg?w=466&h=189&crop=1 align="left" caption="Recherche Bay"]]Gazing at this pristine landscape, Labillardière voiced the ethos of noble nature: ‘We were filled with admiration at the sight of these ancient forests, in which the sound of the axe had never been heard.’
 * Turning his eyes towards the harbour, he exclaimed with exaggerated praise that ‘more than 100 vessels of the line might ride here with safety’.
 * D’Entrecasteaux felt equally emotional: ‘With every step, one encounters the beauties of unspoilt nature … trees reaching a very great height … are devoid of branches along the trunk, but crowned with an everlasting green foliage. Some of these trees seem as ancient as the world’.
 * Matthew Flinders paid him an unreserved compliment, when he praised the discovery of this harbour as ‘the most important discovery which has been made in [Tasmania] from the time of Tasman’.

Cockle Creek
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">** Cockle Creek ** is a tiny settlement in <span style="background-image: url(">[|Tasmania], the farthest point south one can drive in Australia,<span style="background-image: url(">[|[1] ] 148 km from <span style="background-image: url(">[|Hobart] via the <span style="background-image: url(">[|Huon Highway].

 * During the 24 days spent moored in the harbour, 200 men were set to work as ships and shore became a hive of activity. It was a welcome break from shipboard routine, although a busy one as most of the crews worked ashore. Before describing the scientific research, it is appropriate to note these various activities, many of which must have left archaeological traces on land or seabed.
 * The example of the preservation of the James Craig over a century later, is a reminder that archaeological evidence of this visit may be preserved in the mud and sand. D’Entrecasteaux provided testimony to the constitution of the seabed when they had difficulty in raising an anchor which was ‘too deeply buried in the mire’. ‘With this type of seafloor,’ he concluded, ‘where the anchors sink to the point of disappearing, it is necessary to raise the anchor frequently.’

|| <span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; line-height: 1.5;">Cockle Creek is about 2 hours drive south from Hobart. It is reached via the Huon Highway (A6) through Geeveston. Take the C635 past the Hastings Caves turn off then follow the C636 gravel road through Lune River to Cockle Creek. The last stages of the road beyond Cockle Creek are fairly rough but can be negotiated by 2 wheel drive vehicles. If driving between dusk and dawn, please be aware that you are sharing the road with wildlife.

Macquarie Island Nature Reserve, Hobart, TAS=== <span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"> <span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; line-height: 1.5;"> Macquarie Island Nature Reserve is an area of very high biogeographic significance, being on the Antarctic Convergence, where the ranges of many Antarctic and more northerly species meet. As a result many species, for example the grey backed storm petrel, thin billed prion, rockhopper penguin and kelp gull, are at the northerly or southerly limit of their range. (Criterion A1) <span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">The area provides valuable habitat for many species of marine mammals and birds in their important breeding, moulting or immature phases, as well as being home to a number of endemic bird species and an array of endemic invertebrates. Because of the harsh conditions on Macquarie Island, species diversity is low, but abundance is high, indicating the success with which those species have adapted to conditions on the island. (Criteria A2, A3 & B1) ===N8. Hartz Mountains National Park, Geeveston, TAS=== <span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="font-family: 'normal Arial',Verdana,Geneva,sans-serif; font-size: 12.16px;">  <span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"> <span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"> <span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"> Hartz Mountains National Park is a window into the south-west wilderness, offering views of remote mountain ranges as far as the southern coast. ===N9. Maatsuyker Island and Surrounds, Catamaran, TAS=== <span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="font-family: 'normal Arial',Verdana,Geneva,sans-serif; font-size: 12.16px;"> <span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"> <span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; line-height: 1.5;"> Maatsuyker Island is the second largest (after De Witt) of six islands in the Maatsuyker group.
 * <span style="background-color: #ffffff; font-family: Verdana,Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; font-size: 12.5px;">A narrow gauge railway, built around 1920, and extensively upgraded in the 1940s is located within the State reserve. It runs along the southern shore of the Lune River estuary and terminates at Deephole Bay.
 * <span style="background-color: #ffffff; font-family: Verdana,Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; font-size: 12.5px;">The railway was originally established to transport limestone from Ida Bay quarries to vessels berthed first within the Lune River Estuary, and later at Deephole Bay. The railway has, discontinuously since 1981, been operated under a lease agreement as a tourist attraction. There is access to Southport Lagoon and King George III monument via railway operation.
 * Aboriginal middens are present in the reserve. The area is the habitat for plant species with restricted distributions in Tasmania, CAESIA ALPINA (r2) and CALADENIA VULGARIS (r3).
 * The area combines a rich history with a unique natural heritage. The area is the type locality for a large number of Tasmania’s unique native plants.
 * The Messmate (EUCALYPTUS OBLIQUA) forests that cover much of the land area of the Sanctuary have representative significance, and are also significant in that they extend to coastal sand dunes and rocky shores. This is highly unusual at the present time, although it was a common phenomenon in the past.
 * The heathland communities in the Sanctuary are particularly rich in species which are no longer found in other coastal regions. The Sanctuary provides important waterbird habitat and breeding ground for a large number of bird species, and is the only known location for a Tasmanian endemic heath species, EPACRIS STUARTII, considered vulnerable at both State and national levels.
 * The Sanctuary also provides protection for several plant species which have a restricted distribution in Tasmania: WESTRINGIA BREVIFOLIA, exocarpus SYRTICOLA, and CYATHODES ABIETINA. The latter two species are endemic to Tasmania. Southport Lagoon area was the collection site for the 1792 D'Entrecasteaux Expedition, and the area is therefore a botanical, zoological, geological and anthropological type locality for many Tasmanian specimens, and is an important scientific reference area.
 * Macquarie Island is an excellent example of a subantarctic island group with good examples of plant communities and landforms. Like other subantarctic island groups the marine flora and fauna have strong antarctic links and the terrestrial flora has Australian links. The fora and fauna of Macquarie Island is however unique. (Criteria D1 & B1)
 * Macquarie Island is unique in being the best preserved example of oceanic crust above the ocean surface, and, never having been part of a continental landmass, it provides the opportunity for study of the oceanic crust, and long distance dispersal mechanisms and implications. (Criteria A1, B1 & C1)
 * The value of Macquarie Island is enhanced by its remote location which has enabled it to retain its biological integrity, and function as a scientific reference point, having been visited by expeditions since the turn of the century, including those of Scott, Shackleton and Mawson, and having been the location of an ANARE Research Station since 1948. (Criteria H1, C1 & B1)
 * Hartz Mountains National Park is located in the south of Tasmania, Australia. It is one of 19 Tasmanian National Parks, and in 1989 it was included in the Tasmanian Wilderness World Heritage Area, in recognition of its natural and cultural values.
 * The island is roughly triangular in shape and covers about 190 hectares, its highest point being approximately 280 metres above sea level. The island lies ten kilometres from the Tasmanian mainland.
 * Maatsuyker Island is part of the Western Tasmania Wilderness National Parks World Heritage Area, and is scenically spectacular, with jagged cliffs rising precipitously from the sea and jumbled rocks and boulders on the shoreline.
 * Several sea caves occur on the coast of the island. The smaller Walker Island lies to the north of Maatsuyker Island, and The Needles, a chain of pyramidal rocks 100 metres in height, lie to the south.
 * The latter are devoid of vegetation except a few plants of Bower Spinach (TETRAGONIA IMPLEXICOMA) and Pigface (CARPOBROTUS ROSSII) near their summits.
 * Walker Island is small (11 hectares) and steep-sided with severely stunted, wind-pruned vegetation. It provides breeding habitat for many species of birds.

N10. Port Cygnet Wildlife Sanctuary
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">Located on the north side of Huon Estuary, Port Cygnet Wildlife Sanctuary provides an important feeding and refuge area for many species of waders and waterbirds. It is especially important for the Black Swans for which the port is named. <span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"> Port Cygnet Conservation Area occupies the northern-most inlet in Port Cygnet, immediately south of the township of Cygnet, 50 kilometres south-west of Hobart. The inlet provides habitat of extensive intertidal mudflats and shallow waters for a variety of waterbirds which feed, breed and shelter in the area, particularly Black Swan (CYGNUS ATRATUS).
 * Port Cygnet Conservation Area provides excellent waterfowl habitat for a range of waterbirds which breed, shelter and feed in the reserve.
 * The reserve is significant as a refuge area for numerous bird species including migratory birds such as Latham's snipe (Gallinago hardwickii), the Great egret (Egretta alba) and the Crested tern (Sterna bergii).
 * A striking and rare example of the phenomena associated with alkaline intrustive complex occurs on the western foreshore of Port Cygnet, near Regatta Point.
 * Adjoining Burtons Reserve and picnic area, Port Cygnet Wildlife Sanctuary is a wetland area on the southern outskirts of Cygnet township. Gulls, swans, herons, ducks and other shorebirds and seabirds can be found here.
 * Port Cygnet was first proclaimed as a wildlife sanctuary in 1952 for the protection of the foreshore and wetlands. The marine component of the reserve area was proclaimed Port Cygnet Marine Conservation Area under the Nature Conservation Act 2002 on 9 December 2009. This reserve class provides for the protection and maintenance of the natural and cultural values of the area and the sustainable use of natural resources.

 * Fanny Cochrane Smith (1834-1905) was recognised by the Tasmanian government as 'the last survivor' of the Tasmanian Aboriginal race, and was granted 305 acres of land at Nicholls Rivulet in 1889. The Smith family became leading members of the Methodist community. One of the sons, William, became a lay preacher.
 * Fanny, in particular, was regarded as a tireless worker, and in late 1895 or early 1896 she gave half an acre of land for the purposes of building a church. It was intended 'to hold the land until the necessity arises for us to erect a church'.
 * The construction of the church took six months, and the first services were held in the new church on Sunday 5 may 1901, when the Reverend CW Atkinson preached in both the morning and afternoon.
 * It is not known when the Methodist church ceased to be used for worship. Miss Henslowe records that the building was used by the local Anglican community.

 * The hydrothermally altered rocks in area b are an excellent and uncommon example of the effects of a magma of different composition on existing rocks.
 * The sites contain the only known cretaceous rocks in Tasmania and provide an opportunity to examine an unusual magma type in conjunction with the more common doleritic rocks. These are important teaching sites. (Criteria A1, A3 & B1)

 * The sections are an excellent record of marine conditions during a glacial episode.
 * The sites are an outstanding example of a stratigraphical reference section in the fossiliferous sedimentary strata. They are used as the reference section for this stage of the Permian in Tasmania, having long continuous exposures without abrupt changes in lithology. The beds are unfaulted and are continuously fossiliferous, with the fossils well preserved.

Dover
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"> <span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"> Prior to European settlement the area around Dover was inhabited by Nuenonne Aboriginal people for at least 30,000 years. <span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">In 1792 Bruni D'Entrecasteaux explored the area and named the bay Esperance after L'Esperance, one of the vessels in his expedition. <span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">Dover lies beside the waters of Esperance Bay and the D'Entrecasteaux Channel, with the imposing figure of Adamson's Peak in the background. Dover is a pretty fishing village with beaches, pastoral scenery and plenty of fresh seafood and produce for hungry travellers. >> It is claimed that the one link between Dover in England and Dover in Tasmania is that huon pine shipped from this area was used in the construction of Dover Pier. ==Dover convict station.== > All that remains is the well preserved (and privately owned) //Commandant's Office////(Rodman)// which is located next to the Caravan Park on Kent Beach Road. > A trip out to three islands in the bay named Faith, Hope and Charity is recommended

 * Dover convict station.
 * Dover Local Heritage
 * The town's locality was named Port Esperance by the French explorer, Admiral Bruni D'Entrecasteaux, who charted the area in 1792.
 * Dover was originally established as a convict probation station which operated between 1844 and 1848. There is now little evidence of the town's penal past.
 * Dover is not quite the southernmost town in Australia but it is close. One of Tasmania's most southern towns, Dover sits at the head of Esperance Bay and overlooks the small islands of //Faith//, //Hope// and //Charity//.[[image:http://www.tasmania.australiaforeveryone.com.au/images/Dover-island.jpg width="320" height="240" align="right"]]
 * Dover's settlement began after the closure of the Port Esperance convict probation station, 1845–47. Timber splitters, then mill men exported huge quantities of beams, piles, paving blocks and railway sleepers worldwide, shipping from the port of Dover.
 * Four large mills in a radius of four miles, plus smaller mills, brought community development. As land was cleared, orchards were planted.
 * After the First World War, the timber industry slowed, and only Raminea mill continued until 1973. Small mills cut timber for apple boxes. Small fruits and orcharding were important in the area until 1970, when markets changed.
 * Dover has attractive beaches and unspoilt scenery, while quaint cottages and English trees give the town an old world charm.
 * The town is a centre for apple orchards and fishing for salmon, abalone and crayfish. Its Atlantic salmon fish farm is the largest in the Southern Hemisphere.
 * The town has a population of about 500 and the major industries are forestry and fishing; particularly Atlantic salmon, abalone and cray fishing, and nearby are apple orchards.
 * After the convict settlement the small town developed as an important port shipping huon pine to the world. By 1850 there were a number of sawmills in the area. Some of the old steam driven timber cutting engines can still be seen in the local museum.
 * Dover was originally established as a convict probation station. Here, inmates transitioned to the status of a pass-holder, eligible to be assigned to employers and earn wages while still serving their time in the penal system.
 * There is now little evidence of the town's penal past.
 * Picturesquely situated on Port Esperance, Dover offers excellent views across the water to the islands named Faith, Hope and Charity.
 * It is possible to sail across to Faith Island where there are a number of historic graves from the 1840s when Dover was a convict probation station.
 * The three islands were named perhaps to inspire the convicts held at the original probation station.
 * The smallest of the three islands in Esperance Bay, Faith Island, was known in earlier times as Dead Island. When the Dover Convict Probation Station was in use between late 1844 and 1848, numerous convicts were buried here, hence its early name.

Franklin
> > <span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">Lord and Lady Franklin used to stay at Clark's Mill at Woodside on their visits to the Huon. To commemorate these visits a cypress tree was planted many years later next to the jetty where the Franklins used to tie up in their boat, the Huon Pine, which had been built of huon pine at Port Davey. =<span style="background-color: #ffffff; color: #222222; font-family: arial,sans-serif;"> Franklin National Heritage = <span style="background-color: #ffffff; color: #a33c23; font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; font-size: 13px;">3 results found.
 * <span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">The historic village of Franklin, once a bustling shipping port, nestles in Tasmania’s orchard and southern wineries region. Along with hillsides of apples and cherries, and the majestic Art Deco Palais Theatre, it is home of the Wooden Boat Centre, preserving the skills of traditional wooden boatbuilding.
 * The main township, first called 'The Settlement' and then renamed Franklin in honour of Lady Franklin, grew up around Fleurty's Rivulet and up as far as Prices Creek.
 * Hemmed in by river, the mudflats and the steep hillsides it became the biggest township on the Huon River with a large number stores, some fruit processing factories, and a grain mill which was established by John Clark just north of the township.
 * In the 1840s and 1850s, after the Franklins had left Van Diemen's Land, many of the early settlers moved away from Franklin and settled along the river. The Geeves family moved to Lightwood Bottom in 1850 and founded Geeveston, the Judd brothers founded Juddbury and the Sherwins moved just south of Juddbury to Forest Home.

F41. St Johns Anglican Church, Hall and Churchyard, Huon Highway, Franklin
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"> St Johns has a commanding and picturesque setting, on a hillside above the town of Franklin overlooking the Huon River to the east. <span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"> <span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"> **<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">Description **<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">: Early worship in the Franklin district was conducted in a small timber church, dedicated to St Mary, erected c1840, on land given by Lady Franklin. On 13 June 1855, Archdeacon Davies wrote to Bishop Nixon, emphasising the urgent need for a new church in the growing township. Nixon sought assistance from the government, under the provision of the Church Act, 1837. The government had already committed its budgeted funds, however, and the request for government assistance appears to have lapsed.
 * It is surrounded by an extensive churchyard which contains many early graves and monuments.
 * St Johns church has important associations with the early social and religious history of the Huon community (A.4).
 * The church and its surrounding graveyard are landmark elements, with a picturesque hillside setting above the township of Franklin (E.1).
 * The church is in the Academic Gothic style typical of the work of the Hobart architect, Henry Hunter and designed during an early period of his creative output (H.1).

<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"> Following the ordination and appointment of the Reverend Thomas Stanfield, sufficient funds were raised publicly, and the foundation stone of the new building was laid on 9 February 1863 by Archdeacon Davies. Henry Hunter was appointed architect, and his original design included a nave, chancel, tower and spire. Only the nave and the base of the tower were completed initially. The contractor was John Rait, and the cost, 600 pounds. <span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"> <span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"> The old church which stood adjacent to the new building was subsequently demolished. <span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">
 * The change in dedication from St Mary to St John is not explained, though the new name may have been chosen to reflect the associations of Sir John and Lady Franklin with the earlier history of the community, in much the same manner as the name of St Davids (Hobart) pays homage to David Collins.
 * The partly completed church was dedicated and licensed by Archdeacon Davies on 17 may 1864, the consecration being postponed until the arrival of the new bishop, the Right Reverend Charles Henry Bromby (January 1865).
 * Following Bishop Brombys visit to the Huon a few months later, he announced he could not understand how the incomplete building had ever been licensed for worship. In late 1895 it was decided to proceed with construction of the chancel and vestry.
 * The timber additions were completed the following year, and on 7 November 1896 the completed building was consecrated by the fourth Bishop of Tasmania, the Right Reverend Henry Hutchinson Montgomery. Restoration of the nave was also undertaken at this time. Further work was undertaken in 1923 and in 1956.

<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"> St Johns Church at Franklin consists of a large rectangular nave (16 x 8 m), in the Victorian Academic Gothic style, so frequently applied by Hunter. The timber chancel (5 x 4.5 m) and vestry (3.5 X 3m) and the entrance porch and tower are all later additions. Posted on [|June 25, 2014] by [|Bishop John]
 * The external walls of the nave are squared uncoursed rubble (white Taylors Bay stone), with dressed stonework of contrasting colour (from Hobart) to window surrounds, buttress cappings, string course below sill and coping to the parapetted gable (at southern end).
 * The longitudinal walls are divided into four bays by double shafted buttresses, with gabled cappings.
 * The triple lancet east window (chancel) has stained glass with representations of St Peter, St John and St James, presented by W.B. Roberts, Christmas 1921. An earlier window, depicting 'The Good Shepherd' is described in church news, of 4 December 1896. It was removed at an early date, and its location is now not recorded.
 * =St John’s Franklin closure=

There have been a few enquiries in regards to the closure of St John’s Church, Franklin. In response to an article published in the Huon News recently, I have issued a Media Release which can be viewed below.

MEDIA RELEASE: //I write in reply to the front page article on 18 June about the closing of St John’s Church Franklin.// //Local Anglican Churches, and their buildings, can only be sustained if there is a vital local congregation. The Church at Franklin has been maintained for over 150 years by active members of the Anglican Church, who have put countless hours and dollars into this building and to providing Ministers and mission for the community.//

//Yes, the local Parish of the Huon is currently discussing the future of this Church building. The reason for this is that for many years the number of church-going Anglicans has declined, to the point where regular services have not been held there in recent years. There simply have not been enough people supporting the life and health of this Church, in spite of the wonderful efforts of the current small group of faithful members.//

//The St John’s Church building has a number of workplace, health and safety issues that need to be addressed to comply with government legislation. There would need to be considerable funds spent in order to maintain it as a public Church building. The Church does not have these funds, either locally or centrally. We have around 350 buildings across Tasmania, and their maintenance depends on having a healthy vibrant local church to do that.//

//As a result, the Parish of the Huon have made the sad and difficult decision to recommend the deconsecration and closure of this church building.// || ||

 * Closure of St Mary's Church, Franklin

5th Sunday Year C 10 February, 2013

//I might be wrong in making this claim, but I think it is very likely that I came to this church before any of you here today. During my early childhood, I often came to visit a great aunt, Auntie Annie, and her husband Daniel Ryan, who lived on a property just a few hundred metres further down the road towards Geeveston. I recall that the Parish Priest at the time was Fr. Leo Sherry and there were Sisters of St Joseph in the Convent, conducting the school at the time. It would not have entered my head that I would be the one, over 60 years on, who would be overseeing the closure of the church, but that is what is happening today.//

// There can be no doubt that there is sadness in the hearts of all of us as we assemble in this church for the last time before the final gesture of closure at the conclusion of the Mass. Maybe a future purchaser will put the building to another use, and we might be back to see what developments have taken place. // The town of Franklin, as we know, has a long history, going back to the time of Governor Sir John Franklin and his wife Lady Jane. Franklin was then the most important settlement on the Huon River, and a busy port, from where the products of the locality were shipped away, mostly up to Hobart. This building is over 150 years old, and it was built according to a design of the noted architect, Henry Hunter, who was a student of Augustus Welby Pugin.

// Over a number of years now, some serious discussions have taken place about the future needs of the parish. Although Franklin is going through something of a revival, it is not the centre of activity in the Huon Valley as it once was and the three buildings on the site, the church, the presbytery and the convent, in recent times, have clearly been in need of very serious renovation for some considerable time. // //Many communities in Tasmania have had to face the consequences of the movement of people the decline in the rural economy and sadly, the decline also in the number of people actively participating in the life of the community. Schools have closed, shops have closed, halls have closed and other religious communities have made similar decisions as well.//

//I know that the process of consideration of the future needs of the parish began a number of years ago, back in the time of Fr. Graeme Howard. He was the one who instigated the strongly consultative process which has gone on during the intervening years, one which Fr Greg has taken up energetically since he came to the parish four years ago. The final decision may be one that none of us wanted to make, and it may not be the one what we would have preferred, but things cannot just be left to go on, because there are consequences as a result of that inaction as well.//

// This church of course is a heritage building, so the negotiations that take place about its eventual alternative use, will have to be carried out according to those requirements. As with the proceeds from the sale of the presbytery and convent, all monies will immediately be allocation to the construction of the planned new church in Ranelagh which will be more than adequate to serve the needs of the area. //

F46. Windsor Farm RA 3520 Huon Highway, Franklin Local Government: Huon Valley
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"> <span style="background-color: #ffffff; font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"> This building has the ability to demonstrate aspects of the growth of Franklin as a rural centre and shows a pattern of development in Franklin. <span style="background-color: #ffffff; font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"> This place has strong meaning for the community because it demonstrates aspects of Victorian society and contributes a sense of history and built character to the semi-rural landscape. <span style="background-color: #ffffff; font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">Description: Windsor Farm is a single-storey Victorian Georgian residence on an L-shaped plan.
 * This building is of historic cultural heritage significance for its ability to demonstrate the principal characteristics of a single storey weatherboard Victorian Georgian residence.
 * These characteristics are found in the external form, construction methods and the detailing, both externally and internally. Later Rustic Gothic elements are also evident.
 * It appears that in the late nineteenth-century, the original house was modified with the addition of a gable section with Rustic Gothic indicators.
 * Style differences can be seen in the window form and fenestration between the main house and the gable.
 * The residence is clad in weatherboard with a steeply-pitched corrugated iron roof in hipped forms. It features a corbelled chimney.
 * The projecting gable includes elaborately carved bargeboards and a finial and pendant. Below this is a double hung sash flanked by two narrow casements.
 * The verandah extends around two sides of the building. Slender poles with iron lace brackets and screens support the verandah. Beneath this is the front entrance of a four-panelled door with transom. Double hung sashes of twelve panes feature.
 * ARCHITECTURAL STYLE:- Victorian Georgian
