Listed Below are the Koonya - Holiday Activities, Tours, Attractions - Find where to Go, what to See and Do.Koonya is an interesting historic former convict outstation on the Tasman Peninsula, that once known as Cascades, is located about 14 km from Port Arthur and 90 km from Hobart. The whole area of the Tasman Peninsula including the towns of Eaglehawk Neck, Saltwater River, Port Arthur, Koonya and Tirana - were once part of a larger penal colony. Port Arthur was the largest, but the other towns were established outstations. Koonya offers a special opportunity to learn about life in this convict settlement, but with modern comforts. Koonya has a number of houses and a wonderfully restored historic penitentiary consisting of a hospital, quarters, workshops, officers chapel, stone quarries, cell blocks and overseers quarters, delightfully located between the mountains and the sea.
