Dunalley, Tasmania

Denison Canal, located in Dunalley, Tasmania, is a man-made canal that separates the Tasman Peninsula from the mainland. Opened in 1905, it was designed to shorten the sailing route between Hobart and the East Coast, making it a significant engineering feat. The canal serves as a convenient stop for recreational boats and visitors traveling toward Port Arthur.

While the canal may not be visually impressive, it offers a brief opportunity to appreciate its historical and functional importance. It is a suitable spot for a short break for those exploring the region or passing through Dunalley. The area surrounding the canal provides a glimpse into the local maritime history and engineering accomplishments of the early 20th century.
