Ansons Bay - TAS

This small fishing village is on the far north eastern coast of Tasmania and features mostly temporary fibro houses, the tinnies waiting to be pushed off in search of fish and the quiet and sleepy holiday ambience makes it one of those wonderful secrets which is known only to the locals and a select group of anglers. There are no facilities or services to tourists.In The Centenary of Portland, an early guide to the area, the region is described in the following romantic terms:'Only one old tree is standing, solid yet, but only one Where the milking and the branding, and the slaughtering were done A hundred years ago.'That is pretty much the way it remains.
