Marrawah

Marrawah is a small town in the state of Tasmania, on the largest island of Australia. It is the westernmost settlement of Tasmania and is accessible via the Bass Highway. Marrawah lies at the western end of the island and is located about 490 kilometers from Hobart.

In the vicinity of the place of cattle and dairy farming is operated and tourism plays a significant role. For tourists, there is a place for horseback riding, surfing and fishing as well as for off-road driving with four wheel drive vehicles. In the village there are cottages for rent and a pub where there are steaks and large abalone snails from the sea, a local specialty for dinner.

A large-area sanctuary of Aborigines is located 8 kilometers south of the mouth of the Arthur River on a hill, Mount Cameron, who is covered all over with broken stone circles and signs. Traces of birds from the dinosaur age have been found in the vicinity of the mountain.

The coastline is very rugged. Since then it is with strong winds, the West Wind Drift, the so-called Roaring Forties and corresponding shafts, the bays of Marrawah are ideal for surfing.
