Lying off the north western coast of
Tasmania in the Bass Strait, King Island is accessed by daily flights from
Wynyard,
Launceston and
Melbourne. Renowned both nationally and internationally for its fine dairy produce, beef and rock lobster, the island is also a popular tourist destination because of a diverse landscape giving rise to a host of outdoor pursuits. As in many other places around the Tasmanian coastline, the first settlers on the island were sealers. Muttonbirds and sea elephants are among its unusual attractions. The north and east coasts feature wonderful sandy beaches, while the shipwrecks along the rugged southern coastline have created a diver’s paradise. A testament to its maritime history is the lighthouse at Cape Wickham,
Australia’s largest, which marks the most northern point of Tasmania.
