Dover Information
Dover is considered to be the most southern town in Australia of any significance. Although there are villages further south no supplies or petrol can be bought. This picturesque town is 81kms south of Hobart nestled at the head of Esperance bay with views across to the islands known as Faith Hope and Charity.
Dover was originally planned as a penal probation station but there is little evidence of its convict past except for the well preserved Commandant's office. Today Dover is an important centre for both the apple and the fishing industries. The southern hemisphere's largest Atlantic salmon farm is located here. Local attractions include the thermal swimming pool at Hastings Cave Reserve and the Ida Bay scenic railway.
