As host of iFISH I am fortunate enough to have been to Tasmania on over a dozen trips and, each time, the sole purpose has been the pursuit of fish. I can’t exactly put my finger on what it is, but there’s something that excites me greatly and makes me feel at home every time [...]

Living in Tasmania, or on any island, life generally revolves around the weather, and locals are obsessed by the forecast. It’s the first thing they talk of, because when it’s bad, it can be terrible. But when it’s good, island life is sweet! And it’s true Tassie gets some pretty atrocious weather and the reputation [...]

My Family and I travelled by motor home around Tasmania and we had our best holiday yet. Not all our time was spent fishing but doing a lap of Tassie in a motor home opens more possibilities than an angler can imagine; especially when it comes to targeting the island’s biggest fishing draw card; trout (there is [...]

Charm. Beauty. Heritage. Community. A soul. They’re all reasons I love my adopted home in the Huon Valley. Is it shallow to say the place is gorgeous, and that adds to my enjoyment of living here? Is it selfish and vacuous to believe that having fruit trees lining the valleys, pockets of native bush, and [...]

I will never forget the day when in 1989 I arrived in Tasmania for the first time – it was a sunny day with a crystal clear blue sky, the cleanest smelling air, a peaceful serenity and stunning wilderness. Straight away my Chef’s instinct intuitively told me that Tasmania is a land blessed with great [...]

I am so grateful that I had the opportunity to visit such a beautiful place. I’ve always felt privileged growing up in a beautiful country like Australia, it’s a place of great weather, breathtaking scenery, multiculturalism, hygiene and very friendly people, but I think Tasmania has to be the epitome of all those things. When [...]

Tasmania was honestly one of the most BEAUTIFUL places I’ve ever been to in my LIFE! ^__^ I remember the bright beautiful sunsets every morning where the sky looks like a painting from an art gallery. The air was so fresh and the TAP water was sooo clean!! At night, you can totally cuddle up [...]

Tasmania is the best place I know to satisfy my passion for fresh, natural flavours. I first visited the State in 1990 to source wonderful ocean trout for my Sydney restaurant, Tetsuya’s. I knew then that I had found a food-lover’s paradise. Regular business visits since have shown me many other aspects of Tasmania. There [...]

It’s hard to believe that January 2010 was my first ever visit to Tasmania. Having travelled extensively around the world, I should preface this piece by saying that I think I have saved the best till now. Flying low over Bass Strait and then suddenly seeing land, an immediate calm came over me, associated with [...]

What I like most about Tassie As a formula one racing driver, flying around the world is part of my job. But Tasmania is one of my favourite places. It is planet amazing. Tassie’s unreconstructed landscapes are an ancient masterpiece of lakes, craggy dolerite peaks, button-grass plains, rain forests and waterfalls. And to top it [...]
