We spent a relaxing time exploring the tiny Dunalley, a quaint fishing village built around man-made Denison Canal, which has a swing bridge for road traffic.
Dunalley connects Forestier Peninsula with the rest of Tasmania. It is enroute to Port Arthur and well known for fresh seafood.
Denison Canal was hand-dug between 1901 and 1905. The swing bridge allows boats easy access between the two bays and local legend has it that the ‘toll’ to the gatekeeper is a bottle of beer. We enjoyed the open countryside and stunning waterways. Mal’s goal when he picks up his boat soon from the Gold Coast, is to take the boat on a trip for a few days, leaving from South Arm (3 minutes from our home) and travel through the Dunalley Canal to Marion Bay and up to Maria Island.
We ended the day, visiting Barilla Bay oysters for dinner. A fine way to end the day. 30 oysters varying from Kilpatrick with Barilla Bay’s own Worcestershire sauce, Spinach & parmesan mornay, Thai flavours, Tempura battered with guacamole and of course delicious natural. Barilla Bay is not far from our home so we are frequent visitors.

Hi, Alan from the Roundabout newspaper here,
Just wondering whether you would give permission for us to use one of your Dunalley photographs (fishing at Dunalley) on a feature sheet for our newspaper?
Credit will be given for the use of the photograph if OK with you.
Thank you in anticipation

Hi Alan,
Yes, you can use any of the Dunalley photos on that post.
I will email you separately with an address, as I would love a couple of copies of that particular issue of the Roundabout Newspaper.
Regards Ros
