TASMANIAĦS NORTH-EAST "The sun rises first at Break O'Day"

REGION	The Break O'Day Municipality is situated on the Northern part of Tasmania's East Coast. It is one of the last great, unspoiled areas left on this planet. Its beauty is almost impossible to put into words. Relaxing pursuits such as fishing, surfing, sailing and bush walking exemplify the lifestyle. It is easy to reach from either Hobart or Launceston. All you have to do is travel through magnificent forests and quaint towns in a picture-book landscape. Our beaches are magnificent, clean and often isolated. It is possible to sit on the sand or a rock all day and not see another person. The hinterland of magnificent native forests interspersed with old mining towns and fertile rural valleys has a charm and peacefulness hard to find in this day and age. The only way to really understand what a magnificent place The Break O'Day Municipality is, is to come and see for yourself. Please feel free to contact Break O'Day Council at any time on (03) 6376  1281 or by writing to; Break O'Day Council PO Box 21 St Helens, Tasmania Australia 7216. Our Email address is: bod@biz.net.au We look forward to having you visit with us. (Kindly supplied by the Break O'Day Council)
