A Heart for Community:
Connect with the heart and soul of a vibrant community. Whether you're meeting friendly locals, encountering heirloom cultures, engaging with Native peoples, exploring hidden corners, or discovering beloved eateries, let lasting memories begin with warmth, hospitality, and genuine connection.
Your adventure begins at the pier in Hobart, where you'll board a motorcoach for the drive to Bonorong Wildlife Sanctuary. See Tasmanian devils, wombats, kangaroos and wallabies. Some of the animals are allowed to roam freely in their natural habitat. Keepers are on hand to answer questions as you interact with them.
Afterward, reboard the motorcoach and drive to Mt Field National Park. This UNESCO World Heritage Site features an approximately 20-minute walk on a trail through stands of the world's tallest hardwood trees. Emerge from the rainforest at spectacular Russell Falls. You'll have time to browse in the Interpretative Center and check out the gift shop.
Visit Curringa Farm in the photogenic Central Highlands of Tasmania. Sixth-generation farmers Tim and Jane Parsons will greet you and take you on an engaging farm tour experience among 3,000 sheep. Dig into a delicious, wood-fired barbecue lunch, accompanied by a glass of premium wine, as well as tea and coffee. This is followed by a sheep dog show and a visit to the shed for a sheep-shearing demonstration.
While at Curringa Farm, examine the local environment and the challenges that face today's farmers near Meadowbank Dam. Learn about this area's purpose and importance to a viable farming community, which provides habitat for native birds and animals.
The route back to Hobart takes you past Glen Clyde House (circa 1840) and the historical town of New Norfolk, with its many quaint cottages and gardens.
