The Van Diemen's Land Circumnavigation Cruise is an internationally well-regarded yachting adventure in which a maximum of forty-five yachts (potentially carrying up to 200 hundred people) from both Tasmania, mainland Australia and, this year, Europe, circumnavigate Tasmania in an anti-clockwise direction.
The yachts start in Hobart or Beauty Point in Northern Tasmania (depending on where they're from) and travel to various ports and anchorages until they cross their starting point. This is not a race, but a 'cruise in company' that has been conducted by the Royal Yacht Club of Tasmania in conjunction with the Royal Geelong Yacht Club every two years or so since the early 1990s.
The event is a great opportunity for less experienced sailors to cruise remote areas in the company of seasoned mariners. It enables participants to experience all Tasmania from the sea, especially the magnificent South West which is only accessible by air, sea or on foot. It's a very social event and along the way, many shore-based functions are organised, such as winery visits, cocktail parties, distillery tours and, of course, dinners.

A Miniature train and a number of different model gauge trains are also open on these running weekends.

Inspired by the journey from Cradle Mountain to Devonport naturally evolved from this drive, reflecting the landscape's beauty and contrasts.
The show is set in the new Waterfront Park, designed to enhance rather than detract from the natural views. Five unique pillars represent different story elements: First Nations artwork, snow gum trees, local topographic lines, Devonport's urban icons, and the unique rocks of Don Heads.
Over 350 custom-made "gobo" patterns projected during the show, featuring local artworks from RANT Arts. Drone-shot videos showcasing the local landscape.

At Home Hill go behind the scenes of the public lives of Australian Prime Minister Joseph Lyons and his wife Dame Enid Lyons. Joseph Lyons (1879-1939), a school teacher born in Stanley, was Tasmania’s Premier in 1923-28 and Australia’s 10th Prime Minister 1932-39. Dame Enid Lyons (1897-1981) was the first woman elected to Federal Parliament, as a Member of the House of Representatives in 1943. She was also the first woman to serve in federal cabinet as part of the Menzies Government in 1949-1951. Home Hill was built in 1916 and was extended over the years to house the Lyons’ eleven surviving children. It survives with a large collection of original contents and provides an unexpected insight into Australian political and family life during the mid-20th century.
Home Hill was the centrepiece of a 4.5 hectare property, containing two hectares of apple orchard. Entered via the original drive, the now 2 hectare property retains the core of Dame Enid Lyons’ original garden, including roses and garden ‘rooms’ defined by hedges.
Situated only a five-minute drive from either the centre of Devonport or the Spirit of Tasmania dock, Home Hill is accessible by guided tour only. Bookings recommended.
Nearby attractions include City of Devonport Art Gallery, Bass Strait Maritime Museum, Don River Railway, Latrobe and Spreyton (historic towns).
Ratho Farm is Australia's oldest golf course. Set in scenic countryside on the outskirts of Bothwell in the Central Highlands and heart of Tasmania. Ratho Farm Golf provides 18 holes of challenging inland links-style golf.
The Ratho Farm Golf Links were first laid out and enjoyed by the pioneering Reid family who emigrated from Leith in Edinburgh, Scotland in 1822 and set up Ratho on the outskirts of Bothwell.
Now restored thoughtfully and tastefully, Ratho Farm has become something of a national pilgrimage for Australian golfers to play and learn about the origins of their favourite pastime.
This sees the role of the Ratho Links turn full circle. From its original application when golf first brought together the new settlers of Bothwell to enjoy their shared Scottish heritage, to once again being an important contributor to the local community as a major drawcard for the region.
Ratho now not only offers a full 18-hole layout but also 20 new ensuite rooms in our former convict accommodation buildings. The Homestead provides a warm and welcoming setting and backdrop, with Atrium, dining and bar facilities as well as a golf pro shop and gift shop.
Twamley Farm is a 7,000 acre, working farm situated on the Tea Tree Rivulet just east of Buckland.

Launceston's Gorge Scenic Chairlift lets you view the magnificent Cataract Gorge from above, located in Northern Tasmania.
Take in the spectacular features of Cataract Gorge from this single-span chairlift. View the South Esk River in a serene or turbulent mood after a flood as well as tree rhododendrons and fern glades. It takes about ten minutes to take the ride across Cataract Gorge and First Basin. Top speed is a sedate one metre per second, but usually, the chairlift runs slower than that to afford passengers a longer ride.
It is about 457 metres (1462 feet) from station to station, with a central span between two pylons of 308 metres (985 feet), believed to be the longest single span of any chairlift in the world. Since its opening in 1972, the chairlift has established a 100 per cent safety record.
Be sure to also wander the grounds below the chairlift, where you can enjoy an outdoor swimming pool, tearooms and the delightful peacocks who inhabit the area.
Launceston's Gorge Scenic Chairlift is around a 15-minute walk from Launceston's central business district.

Dunalley Bay Sauna was founded by two sauna loving locals who have been enjoying the cozy warmth and beautiful wooden ambiences of saunas for many years.

They get you toasty and relaxed in a beautiful coastal environment. The sauna has an expansive cedar interior and a powerful Finnish heater, with a large panoramic window to enjoy the water view.
