Photographer’s Note

Maria Island is a special place with something for everyone - historic ruins, sweeping bays, rugged cliffs and mountains, and remarkable wildlife.
Set just off the warm east coast, the island is easily accessed by ferry. Once on the island you will discover a place where there are no motor vehicles and no shops.
Maria Island was once the home of whalers and sealers which were set up on its shores in the early 1800s. The Island has been, amongst other things, a setting for convict stations, a sheep station and a base for the National Portland Cement Company. It is now a National Park
