Lazy summer afternoons at our little SaltBoxHideaway. The most magical place to take a breath and let life slow down

01/07/2024

It's hard to imagine this serene, beautiful spot once being the harshest convict prisons ever created - in 1822. Even getting to the island, located in Macquarie Harbour, was a torment for convicts who were forced to sail through the very shallow and as a consequence, dangerous, channel that was just shy of 500m wide. Making it through what they nicknamed Hells Gates was just the start. See and hear more about this incredible history on a guided tour of Sarah Island that is included in your Gordon River cruise from Strahan.

It's chilly but a beautiful sunny day and time for a paddle. Looking back at the little west coast village of - the little bay us heritage shack owners believe is the most special place in the world.

Winter is here! And it's the perfect excuse to take a break from our busy lives. West Coast of Tasmania is the place to do it. Fresh air, water lapping at the edge of the shore, fire pot ready to watch the starry skies. We all need some time out to rest and recuperate.

What a beautiful way to start the day sailing out of Macquarie Harbour through the infamous Hell's Gates. It is an intimidating sight with the gates signalling the the entrance to one of Australia's most dangerous harbours. This was the last view of the mainland that convicts would see when they were taken to Australia's harshest and first penal colony on Sarah Island between 1822 and 1833 when it was shut down for good. The scenery is stunning, the history is something else.

Morning fog created an eerie atmosphere on this day cruise to discover the wild, beautiful west coast of Tasmania.

It's not just a cruise. Visitors get to hear stories of what was the first - and harshest - penal colony in Australia on Sarah Island.

Established in 1822, Sarah Island was chosen as the first penal colony in order to strike fear into the heart of convicts. So brutal was it to even get there through Hell's Gates, that they believed nobody would try to leave. You'll have to take a cruise to see how that story ended up.

It's hard to imagine back in 1822, this beautiful place was home to Australia's first - and harshest - penal colony in Australia. But it's brutal reputation aside, the island became a centre of industry.

The west coast rivers were lined iwth Huon pine trees - a timber that was ideal for shipbuilding. In just a few years, this tiny convict outpost became the largest shipbuilding yard in the British colonies. Your day out will include a guided tour of Sarah Island where you will see the remnants of the penitentiary, bakehouse, tannery and the commandant’s slipway, giving an insight into the cruelties of convict life.
