and set against the tranquil hills and forest of the
Tasman Peninsula. Many of the sandstone prison

pretty little port on Macquarie’s Harbour and the
only town on Tasmania’s forbidding West Coast.
Originally a Huon pine timber milling town its
growth was boosted by the copper boom at the

“It was so well organized. We got to see all the best places, but without feeling we were being herded around like cattle, like you do on some tours. There was plenty of time to paint, and the instructor told me more about how to improve my painting style in weeks than I have learned all year back home. I really did get individual attention.”
“I particularly enjoyed meeting people with similar interests and having a working reason for being in a location.”
