1. Channel Museum
Overall Ratings
5.0 based on 62 reviews
The Channel Museum tells the many, varied, and quirky stories of the pioneers of the D’Entrecasteaux Channel, south of Hobart and adjacent to Bruny Island, providing a comprehensive insight into the life of early settlers in regional Tasmania. Our museum has been established for nearly 47 years, is community owned and volunteer operated, and situated in Margate, 20 km south of Hobart. We welcome independent travelers, tour groups and cruise ship visitors. The Channel Museum was presented with a Bronze Award for Cultural Tourism in 2017 by the Tourism Industry Council of Tasmania.

The Channel Museum in Margate is only 20 minutes from Hobart & a hidden gem in the area. A small, casual cafe fronts an amazing museum with wonderful displays & relics of a bygone era. We were fortunate in our guide, Andrew, as he was very informative & knowledgeable. The museum is operated by volunteers & admission is for a nominal donation. Highly recommend to those interested in our colonial history.

Tasmania's largest landscaped Native garden winds around the shores of North West Bay. Inverawe enjoys stunning views and contains over 7000 Australian and Tasmanian native plants. There is always something in bloom in this sustainable, low chemical use, waterwise garden. Interpretive signs enhance the experience. Bird watchers have spotted 84 species at Inverawe, including all 12 endemics. Open seven days a week, September through May, other times by arrangement.

We visited as an adult family group on an overcast summer day. The diversity of Tasmanian ecosystems and chorus of native bird life was remarkable for an often overlooked area of northwest bay coastal terrain. The mixture of open grassland with sculptural exhibits and excerpts of poetry, with numerous diverse sections of native flora and understory to grand eucalyptus trees with atmospheric roaring wind in tree-tops was memorable. The extraordinary diversity of birdsong in such a small area also added to a memorable rambling over a few hours. Their publications on local history, poetry, and photography are also well worth a look.

11,6,& 3yr old, 4 adults and a 7 week old baby. All but the baby found something we each loved. As the babies mother i was extremely grateful for the shade provided to keep us out of the sun on this hot Tassie day. The fish & chips were devine from the caravan parked in the car park. Will 100% take the trip back down again.
