Glide over the deep waters of the Gordon River aboard the Lady Jane Franklin II. Upgrade to the Premier Deck to experience gourmet delights and large comfortable armchairs overlooking the bow of the boat (additional $80 per person). Absorb the beauty of the untouched wilderness, given World Heritage status when public outcry prevented the region being drowned by the damming of the Franklin River. Take a rainforest walk at Heritage Landing to see ancient Huon pines. Explore the infamous penal settlement ruins at Sarah Island Historic Site, in the remote regions of Macquarie Harbour, for a harsh insight into the reality of convict life.
