Location and features

The peninsula measures about Шаблон:Convert long by Шаблон:Convert wide, and is a part of the Tasman municipality.[1] The east coast of the peninsula, facing the Tasman Sea is contained within the Tasman National Park.[2]

Bay whaling activities were conducted in the coves of the peninsula in the 1830s and 1840s.[3]

Located on Forestier Peninsula facing Norfolk Bay, Flinders Bay, Шаблон:Convert north west of Eaglehawk Neck, was once the site of a convict Probation Station which was established in 1841. The 200 convicts were involved in timber getting and land clearing. The station, beside the mouth of Flinders Creek, was short lived and closed within several years of establishment. The convicts were transferred to the penal settlement of Шаблон:TAScity.[1]

The peninsula was severely impacted by the 2013 Tasmanian bushfires with significant property damage, particularly in and around the hamlet of Murdunna.

A historical survey map is available which outlines the geology and vegetation of Tasman Peninsula, Forestier Peninsula and south east from Coal River[4]
