EAGLEHAWK NECK. Rich in history and spectacular cliff formations.

Eaglehawk neck is made up of a narrow part of land less than 100m wide. Pirates bay on the east and Norfolk bay to the West. Which made this 'the most effective natural prison gates ever invented', and as dangerous and difficult to escape/cross as Alcatraz . Eaglehawk neck was patrolled by guards, day and night, and had 11 big, tethered, wild dogs chained the whole way across the narrow strip forming a barrier. The strong currents and large amount of sharks roaming the waters, made escaping by sea near imposable and very daring.

Little remains are left of the convict history in the area, but with its remarkable, breath taking natural wonders; it's an absolute must for people traveling to Tasmania .
