Norfolk Bay Convict Station was built to service Australia's first convict railway station and had a pivotal part of the Tasman Peninsula's history. The train had the dubious reputation of being the only human powered one in Australia, and carried goods from Norfolk Bay to Port Arthur convict prison - seven kilometres away. The Tasman Peninsula is famous for its 300 metre (1,000 foot) sea cliffs, walking tracks, boat trips, diving, and local vineyards. There are number of good local restaurants, and you can kayak, play golf, or try fishing from the pier.
