Ansons Bay Information
Ansons bay in Tasmania is a very small town which lies in the Bay of Fires and is very popular as a fishing holiday destination.
Ansons Bay lies in The Bay of Fires region which runs from Binalong Bay all the way to Eddystone Point. It was given the name Bay of Fires by Captain Tobias Furneaux in 1773 that saw aboriginal people light fires on the beaches.
The township is located on the coast near Mount William National park which offers some excellent environmental action. It is not so much of a built up township but more of a tranquil escape for any traveller wanting a relaxing holiday.
The William National Park is home to some unique fauna and wildlife such as kangaroos, echidnas, possums, wombats and the famous Tasmanian Devil. Bird watching is also excellent in the national park which provides a great eco tourism adventure.
Fishing is spectacular around Ansons Bay. The best time to visit is in October and there are plenty of great fishing spots. The Bream fishing is especially good and the best bet is to fish in around 2 foot of water around the weed patches. There are also plenty of great Australian Salmon to be caught on the Anson River.
Another great activity is to go Kayaking along the Ansons River. The experience will leave you breathtaking as you take in the wonderful natural environment. On your eco paddle you will also see plenty of water birds like cormorants, swans and pelicans. Eagles will more than likely soar overhead to making a magical experience.
For something a little different, The Bay of Fires Winter Yoga Retreat will provide a great meditation experience set in the natural landscape. It’s a three day workshop at the Bay of Fires lodge and a great way to escape the hustle and bustle of the city life.
