Tasman Peninsula

   Also found in: Wikipedia 0.01 sec.

Tasman Peninsula

Peninsula, southeastern Tasmania, Australia. With an area of about 200 sq mi (500 sq km), it has sea cliffs and unusual rock formations. It was first explored in 1642 but was not settled until a penal colony was established at Port Arthur in 1830. The colony's partly restored ruins are now a tourist attraction, and the peninsula is part of Australia's National Estate.
