- A detailed account of our recent visit to Maria Island. If you are interested in Maria Island this video clip will give you much information about what to do and see on the island. Fortunately we had good weather after the intial windy day. I managed to get some good aerial video of parts of the island.
I have included old photographs with the video, these were accessed from the Tasmanian Archives Dept. They show aspects of the convict era as well as showing just how busy the island was in the late 1800's. They tell part of the story of Diego Bernacchi who's visions for Maria Island were ambitious. Few people realise just how much energy and initiative he expended in establishing a wide variety of industries in a short time. He was one of the first to recognize the tourist potential of the island. Imagine if his Coffee Palace could still serve quality coffee today.
We stayed in the penitentiary one night and camped in tents one night, visiting most historic and scenic sites on the northern part of the Island.
This is one of the best videos I've ever seen of Australia - no frills, no floozies, just plain reporting. Thanks a lot.
Thankyou for sharing ,my ancestor was one of the first convicts of Mariah island
Beautiful.
Why on earth would you fly a drone over this beautiful island disturbing the wildlife? Surely this is not allowed?
It's not
Yes a production on the Ouse area and the Upper Derwent would be great BUT it would ave to be shot at the height of autumn to do justice to the area. A bit of editting wouldn't go astray- too much lingering on grazing wombats, nursing kangas etc.
Very beautiful places
Beautiful footage of my home state :)
Great job
Very nice and informative video mate! Cheers!
Thanks for that, pity its out of bounds right now. We will certainly be back asap.
