Doomsday weather aside, Tasmania is currently rebranding itself as Eden. A wind, more or less untouched by any landmass, whips around the globe, pounding Tasmania's west coast. The endless gusting makes Tasmania's air, soil, and surrounding waters some of the least contaminated on the planet. Perhaps more important, thanks to its wild congeries of microclimates, you can grow or harvest virtually anything—berries, stone fruits, nuts, olives, truffles, wasabi, saffron, caviar, Wagyu beef—to exacting culinary specifications.

  • West Coast Winderness Railway

    Travelling between Strahan and Queenstown, this restored Apt railway line was an informative and relaxing way to spend a day. The dense vegetation makes one appreciate more the skills of the pioneers who constructed the original line, in order to get the ore Queenstown to the port at Strahan.
