Learn about Ben Hyron, transported from England to Tasmania in 1818 for passing counterfeit coins; he was pardoned in 1832 and moved to George Town in 1855. Escape to this era, as you enjoy warmth from an open fire in the convict brick fireplace during a time when gold was discovered at nearby Lefroy and Beaconsfield.
Visit 'The Grove' historic house, see fairy penguins come in from Bass Strait and taste Tamar Valley wines. Wander the rolling beaches of the north coast, visit the seahorse farm or simply relax beneath the 100-year-old mulberry tree in the garden.
