69 Travel 1 MONA’S STILL GOT IT The Museum Of Old & New Art (MONA) has been attracting culture vultures from far and wide since opening in 2011. The 25-minute ferry trip from Brooke Street Pier in the middle of town sets the tone – seats shaped as sheep and a stray cow sculpture increase intrigue. Winding my way down a spiral staircase into the bowels of the museum, I find a bar with oversized canvases and ephemeral words cascading down the wall. Simply breathtaking!
OLD CONSTANTLY 2 MEETS NEW Don’tD’tl leave theth Apple Isle’s capital city without at least dropping into the Henry Jones Art Hotel, a glorious establishment built within HOB the confines of the old IXL jam factory neear the docks. The service and style are impeccable and I am suitably impresssed with the decor as the work of local artists rotaate on the walls thanks to the help of a nearby art school. There’s a hearty a la carte breakfast on offer in the mornings but if you’re more of a night owl, you’ll choose the IXL Long Bar, which prides itself on shaking up classic cocktails with modern twists.
THERE’S AN ISLAND 3 DEDICATED TO FOOD! I catch a car ferry to Bruny Island where I stumble upon pig farmer Ross O’Meara from the TV series The Gourmet Farmer. Ross and his family live off the land and his wallaby burgers (which can be found in Hobart’s CBD at Street Eats @ Franko night market, Franklin Square) are delicious. Bruny has a smokehouse, a cheese factory and the House of Whisky. Bruny Island Cheese Co. uses leftover whey to make beer. Better still, the cheese is smooth and the beer’s mighty fine.
70 A HOT NEW HOTEL 4 HAS OPENED While you’re here... MACq1 is a swanky hotel at Hobart’s docks. It’s timber and day spa-looking but given its location, you’ll get a good sense of All that Tasmania’s wharf history. Each of the 114 Tas! rooms pays tribute to a local character. I slept in the room of Cocky Billet, a criminal known for dapper dress sense, so it’s no surprise the room is dripping in swagger.
Sample some top drops Move over, Tamar! The Coal River Valley, a scenic 20-minute drive from Hobart, has some of Australia’s most delicious pinot noirs and chardonnays. Riversdale Estate is a must-see with jaw-dropping river views and girly high tea in the spectacularly decorated Orangery Conservatory. Ian and Wendy Roberts’ passion for wine is utterly infectious. Try Frogmore Creek Wines and Puddleduck Vineyard, too.
