  • Discovery REDISCOVERIES
    TASMANIANHERITAGE Festival 2016 DISCOVERy DISCOVERIES RE 1st - 31st May Minister’s Message It gives me great pleasure to provide an introduction to the 2016 program for the Tasmanian Heritage Festival. The Tasmanian Heritage Festival is a great way in which all Tasmanians and visitors to our island State can connect with our history, our heritage and our stories. Our island home is increasingly recognised as a destination of choice, and the rich combination of our Aboriginal, historic and natural features adds to our appeal. The Heritage Festival is a brilliant way in which we can take the time to explore our heritage places and precincts, and learn more about the stories that make Tasmania so unique. It is also a great way in which we can show our appreciation and pride in the work of countless volunteers to recognise, protect and present our heritage places, precincts, stories and features. I commend the program to you. I encourage you to look through the schedule of events, see what appeals, and tell your friends, family and colleagues about specific events on offer that might appeal to them too. The National Trust and all of the volunteers, organisations, businesses and government entities involved are to be congratulated for pulling together such an interesting and compelling series of events right across the State. I hope that you enjoy what the Tasmanian Heritage Festival 2016 has to offer: a Festival that is proudly supported by the Tasmanian Government and delivered by the National Trust of Australia (Tasmania) for all of us to enjoy. Matthew Groom MP Minister for Environment, Parks and Heritage Painting by Alan Young, exhibitor, The Sound of Art with a few Bachs, p6 1 National Trust Messages Chair of the Board The 2016 Tasmanian Heritage Festival promises to be a great opportunity to appreciate - and celebrate - this State’s wonderful heritage.
