TASMAN PENINSULA TR09

TASMAP is progressively introducing a 1:50 000 Topographic Mapping Series. This map replaces the 1:25,000 topograpical maps of Cox and Melaluca. The map covers the entire Tasman Peninsula. The Tasman National Park, renowned for its spectacular coastal scenery, diverse forests and newly opened Three Capes Experience, is a prominent feature of the area. Additionally, two Historic Sites at Port Arthur and Coal Mines, both inscribed on the World Heritage List as part of the Australian Convict Sites World Heritage are popular with visitors. The coastal conditions vary from huge waves for surfers to sheltered bays sought by recreational fishers and boat owners. The design of the 1:50 000 Map Series will provide clear and accurate portrayal of topographic information, with symbols and map content giving enhanced depiction of buildings, hill shading and a simplified classification of vegetation.
