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.
