Australia : Tasmania - King Island page 1 of 10   King Island is known throughout Australia for its delicious, creamy cheeses (plus beef, crayfish and oysters).   Tasmania's northernmost island is green, grassy, low, windswept and just 58 kilometres long. The two main townships are Grassy and the larger, kelp-harvesting town of Currie.   More shipwrecks litter the seabed around here than any other part of Australia. Cape Wickham Lighthouse at the island's north end, granite-built and 48 metres high, is Australia's tallest. King Island Dairy is worth visiting and the Currie Museum, originally the lighthouse keeper's cottage, has information about some of the island's shipwrecks. The worst was that of the immigrant ship Cataraqui, which hit rocks and foundered during a storm in 1845, sending 400 people to a watery grave.   Welcome to King Island   King Island Crayfish King Island is famous for it's beef, seafood & dairy products   The Boat House Gallery - Currie The Boat House Gallery - Currie   Currie Wharf Currie Wharf   Currie's 9-hole golf course Currie's 9-hole golf course   In part the green follows the shoreline King Island wildlife   King Island wildlife King Island wildlife   Blowhole Beach Sea Elephant Bay   Sea Elephant Bay Blowhole Beach   Sea Elephant Bay  Click to continue.
