Fortescue Bay to Cape Hauy
A well formed walking track that takes
you to the end of Cape Hauy in the
Tasman National Park, one of the most
distinctive landmarks of the Tasman
Peninsula. The end of the Cape has been
sliced up like a loaf of bread to form the
two rounded islands called “The
Lanterns”, and the tall, narrow
“Candlestick”. Tucked away next to the
Candlestick is the famous “Totem Pole” an
unbelievably narrow spire of rock,
completely surrounded by treacherous
water.
Treat yourself at the chocolate factory
A visit to the family-run Federation
Chocolate Factory and Museum is not
one you will forget any time soon. Since
opening in 2004, the factory has
developed a diverse range of chocolate
flavours, many of which are unique to the
factory. For a new taste sensation we
suggest trying the dark chocolate
brandied apricot, or for those less willing,
there are plenty of delicious other flavours
to choose from. Outstanding features of
the building itself include the convict
sandstone masonry, Tasmanian
Blackwood floors and a huge pine table
milled from a single tree trunk.
