Bathurst Harbour

Bathurst Harbour is located in the South West Wilderness of Tasmania. The harbour is an expansive, almost landlocked body of water which provides safe anchorage from the Roaring Forties that buffet the Western and South Coast Tasmania. The harbour is connected by the narrow Bathurst Channel to Port Davey. Like most esturine systems in southwest Tasmania, the water is stained a deep red-brown due to tannin rich runnoff from the surrounding heathlands.
