The North Bruny Quarantine Station has not been open publicly since 1885. This is your chance to discover the secrets and stories, and provide feedback towards the eventual opening of the site to the public. Experience the Inhalation Chamber, the unusual architecture and the last resting place of some of Tasmania’s 1000s of influenza victims, or simply relax in the midst of an area also noted for its natural beauty.
Saturday 12 February 2006
10.15am
At the Quarantine Station Gate
The tour with Parks and Wildlife staff will take in the main buildings and stories of the site and finish around midday. Following this you are welcome to stay to talk the caretakers while looking over copies of original plans and documents as well as photos of the area past and present. There will also be opportunities for extended walks to visit more distant points of interest.
To get to the Quarantine Station from South Bruny, or the ferry, follow signs in the direction of Dennes Point. At the CWA Hall turn left (north, toward Killora). The station gate is 4km further.
