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?

This is Tasmania: a road-trip that starts in a traffic jam as the sun goes down but really begins in a grey Devonport car-park as the sun comes up, eating breakfast wrapped in greaseproof paper and rifling through booklets with texta scribbles on their back covers.

But cold brings its own benefits… snow glistening atop Mt Wellington, hot chocolate with marshmallows at Salamanca, warming whiskies at Lark Distillery and piping hot scallop pies … the closest thing to food Heaven on earth those scallop pies!

In 1983 my family, including 4 children, did a house and car swap with a Hobart family who had 7 children. When dollars don’t stretch for family holidays, this was the perfect solution. Both families had one month’s free accommodation for the Christmas holidays. We all loved our time in Tasmania and we made good [...]

There is so much to do in Tasmania and if you are a little bit on the active side and love nature, then you can eat your heart out here! There is no outdoor pursuit you can’t do in Tasmania. Think about what you like most of any out-door activity and you can do it. [...]

We have not traveled the world extensively but having just returned from Tasmania we wonder if there is any great need to. Call us ignorant or small minded and if you must judge and sentence us, please, please, please sentence us for the term of our natural lives to Tasmania!!
