Dover is 1½ hours drive southwest of Hobart. Dover was originally established as a convict probation station and later became an important port, shipping Huon pine to the world. It is claimed that Huon pine shipped from this area was used in the construction of Dover Pier in England. The Tahune Forest Airwalk, Hartz Mountains, Hastings Caves and Thermal Pool, the Ida Bay Railway and the World Heritage Area beyond Cockle Creek are all easily accessible from Dover. The quiet protected waters of Port Esperance are ideal for swimming, kayaking, fishing and boating. Beach combing, bird watching, photography, golf, bush walking and fossicking are just some of the activities to pursue while holidaying here.
