It's home to the southern hemisphere’s best collection of restored convict built Georgian buildings and structures that are still in community use today – a World Heritage listed living history. Only 8 x 5 kilometres in size, it's packed full of beauty and blessed with a wonderful sub-tropical climate where the great outdoors is yours to enjoy. Visitors can pursue a range of nature-based experiences such as bush walking, sea kayaking, frontier surfing or diving/snorkeling.

When to visit
