THE HOBART MAGAZINE I’m back in the hotseat again and have really enjoyed seeking out the stories in this issue. We’re in the midst of a Federal election and if the early stages are anything to go by, it’s going to be one hell of a ride. Even if you hate politics and politicians, it’s important to educate yourself on who stands for what matters to you and use your vote wisely on 18 May. Locally we’re heading into the winter festival season with Dark Mofo leading the charge in June. Fluff up your black puffer coat and get the hell out there to experience some artsy action. The OgahOgah is waiting for you.

L E T T E R S TO T H E E D I TO R We just wanted to say thanks for your beautifully written and totally unexpected review of our little family run cafe. We have had a few nice reviews over the 18 years we have been here, but never one that managed to effortlessly capture what this place is about. So thank you, and please let us know next time you come through, we'd love buy you that pot of Palestinian coffee! Congrats on a great little mag.

James and Dolma (Mullet Cafe), Dodges Ferry I just wanted to say thanks for putting out a stellar little mag. It's a refreshing change from doom and gloom news. I enjoyed reading about ‘Bevy’ and his ironman career in the latest issue.

Keep up the great work.

LOCAL LAD Adelaide. I gave up almost everything to pursue this.

It was my dream so I went after it not knowing how or where to start. I gave myself a five year plan. It took six years to sign my first deal but it was worth it.

Where’s your favourite eatery?

I love barbecues or packing a roast chicken and heading outdoors. Stewarts Bay is a great spot.

Restaurant, I enjoy The State Cinema. Food, movies, bookshop. Not a bad mix! Take Away, my favourite is Ganges Indian under the Argyle St car park or grabbing a chicken skewer at Salamanca Market.

Guilty pleasure?

Mmm... just one? Rolling around with dogs, food fights, Metallica. When I'm feeling classy and sophisticated it's doing doughnuts with old cars in paddocks. Signing books I've illustrated is always charmingly guilty.

BEN CLIFFORD FROM HOBART

Interview James Marten

C

hildren’s book illustrator Ben Clifford loves the simple things in life - a roast chook and time spent outdoors, or wandering through the bookshops of Hobart.

What’s the best thing about Hobart?

Air not dirty. City not large. Wilderness not far.

Weather not baking. Traffic not bad. Fresh produce.

Take your pick. My suburb has a great sense of community, much like the rest of Tasmania.

And the worst?

The homeless or people generally struggling, it's a problem most don't realise. St Vincent De Paul's food van does great work distributing meals six days a week at nine Hobart locations. Anyone can donate food or funds to their kitchen on Argyle Street.

Tell us a little about your work?

I write and illustrate children's books and I’m currently working for Starfish Bay Publishing who are based in

4

When there's nothing to do, I...

Try new recipes, turn the music up, write and draw random ideas that may become a children's book.

I'm always thinking about the next project and start planning it - usually in the shower, driving or trying to sleep. I never stop thinking, it sometimes drives myself and others crazy.

Favourite Hobart secret?

I painted a traffic signal box on the corner of Sandy Bay Road and St Georges Terrace for the people of Battery Point (it was council approved). The painting is a tribute to Mary Roberts who ran a private zoo at Battery Point for the then soon to be extinct thylacines and other wildlife needing care. Mary often walked a thylacine on a lead around Hobart.

What do you love doing outside work?

Various exercise, kayaking, running, hunting through secondhand bookshops, guitar, live music, reading, collecting Graeme Base books since I was eight, the odd visit to Mona (thank you for free entry Mr Walsh), visiting Hobart Book Shop, Dymocks, Fullers, TMAG and Bonorong Wildlife Sanctuary. When I can make time, I paint large works on canvas and put on random public outdoor exhibitions at Salamanca or Richmond Park.

LOCAL LADY

EMMA SKALICKY FROM SANDY BAY Interview Bonnie Liston

A

ctress, director, and playwright, Emma Skalicky recently had her work staged in Sydney, published an anthology, and is currently directing Picnic at Hanging Rock for Bad Company Theatre.

What do you love about the suburb you live in?

I live in Sandy Bay. I like the cute houses and the proximity to university. And there are great cafes nearby.

What’s the best thing about Hobart?

The community! Particularly the tight-knittedness of the arts community. I also just really love how beautiful Hobart is – we are surrounded by this valley of bushland, we’ve got the river, the heritage architecture and kunanyi is right there!

And the worst?

Look, the infrastructure might need a slight boost.

Parking is a bit of nightmare sometimes and peak hour traffic is a real adventure!

Tell us a little about your work?

I’m very passionate about working with young people and providing them with groundwork and opportunities for entering into the arts - setting a precedent for respect and boundaries. I love scripts where I can elevate the voices of women and gender diverse people, like taking on a classic story with an unexpected angle. I’ve definitely found this for Faustus and Eurydice, plus I’m doing Picnic at Hanging Rock, writing a play about Medusa, and planning productions of Salome and Medea. Definitely a pattern!

Where’s your favourite eatery?

Probably Bury Me Standing. They’re super friendly, they’ve got amazing bagels, and great wall art.

Drink of choice and where do you head for it?

Coffee, Latte, Villino. Or a Fast Eddie from Yellow Bernard.

Guilty pleasure?

Colour coordinating my make-up to my outfits. And I have to pat every dog I see on the streets. Or cat for that matter.

What do you never leave home without?

A tote bag filled with writer’s notebooks. I have so many writer’s notebooks - for theatre, for university, for playwriting, for art...

When there's nothing to do, I...

Watch vines on youtube (ha-ha), walk along the Hobart Rivulet, have coffee in town. I’m trying to read as many Stephen King novels as I can. Also I don’t have spare time.

Favourite Hobart secret?

It’s Cracked and Spineless. I love a good independent bookstore.

What do you love doing outside work?

Seeing shows. Brainstorming with my friends about future projects. No rest for the wicked, you know.

Quote to live by?

“May I write words more naked than flesh, stronger than bone, more resilient than sinew, sensitive than nerve.” Sappho, the bae. ■ 5

Mayfield Farm Shearing Shed

FROM PADDOCK TO CATWALK Words Genevieve Morton Picture Stephanie Williams

T

asmania’s merino wool growers are making their mark with high end brands Hugo Boss and Armani. We spoke to Bruce Dunbabin of Mayfield Farm near Swansea to see what makes Tasmanian wool so fine and of his new winemaking ventures.

Your Merino wool ends up gracing the catwalks for iconic brands such as Hugo Boss and Armani.

How did this come about?

The Italians are some of the best wool processors in the world and we are fortunately able to grow some of the best super fine wool in Tasmania. We’ve been growing the wool for several generations and supplying the same Italian families for many decades.

Why do they love our wool?

We have a cooler, relatively stable climate and therefore stable growing conditions for the sheep.

We’re able to produce a very clean and consistent product. There are very few places in the world that have the same unique qualities as Tasmania.

You sell to high end Italian company Reda which reportedly buys about 20,000 bales of superfine merino wool annually and 80% of it Australian.

Yes, Reda is our main purchaser. Reda specifically require superior wool for their high-end men’s suits and innovative, premium woollen active wear.

Fashion houses and customers increasingly want to know more about where the wool comes

6

from and how the animals and environment are treated.

Absolutely. The story of the wool is so important, particularly if you have a great story to tell! It gives people a tangible connection to where and how the garment they are buying has been produced. Some aspects of farming are portrayed negatively in the media but being able to show consumers how well we treat our animals and how passionate we are about what we do is important to us.

We hear in the off-season, you grow grapes?

We first planted grapes in 2010, under contract to the old Hardy's Wine Company, which is now Accolade.

We currently have six hectares. Both the wool production and grape growing are 12 month a year enterprises but they work in together beautifully and it helps support our wool growing when times are tough. Our grapes go into a sparkling wine and they all end up in the premium Arras range. Ours go into the Grand Vintage bottles which retail for $80 each.

Now that we've fulfilled the contract with Accolade, we hope to start making our own wines to sell from the cellar door we have planned to build.

What's your history in wine making?

I have a better history in wine consumption, but after growing our own grapes and becoming involved in the industry, I've developed a real interest for making good wine. We're in a perfect position for not only producing fine wool sheep, but also growing true cool-climate grapes that make great, flavoursome wines. ■

HOBART HAPPENINGS THUMBS UP Mums. They come in lots of different forms and we wouldn’t be here without them!

Public art. Let’s put the art in Hobart and get behind the installation of a fantastic public piece we can be proud of.

Winter. Yes, it’s cold but there’s so much to love - sitting by the fire, winter festivals, warming food and being that bit closer to summer again!

Bluey. Parents, get onto it, and support Aussie content.

WE'RE TURNING ONE This issue marks a full year of mag production for us and we've loved every minute. We'd like to thank each and every reader for taking a chance and picking us up. And to our advertisers, thank you for supporting us and showing that you care about giving the people of Hobart something independent, informative and hopefully fun to read.

Here's to the next year!

SONNY NEW DAY FOR TEMPLO Matt Breen and Chris Chapple from Templo are opening a new bar, Sonny, on Elizabeth Street in the site that once was Can Bar. Promising a little bit of food and a little bit of wine, the tiny space will be low key with simple furniture and fitout. The food is even more simple with only a small hotplate and a salamander on hand - it will be the kind of place you pop into for a snack and a glass of wine. But if Templo is anything to go by, you’ll be eating all the snacks and not needing any dinner anyway! Set to open mid May.

MAKING SWEET MUSIC Parking. It’s great to pay for parking by card now but the $3 minimum spend seems unfair.

Expensive vaccines. With Meningococcal B shots financially out of reach for many Hobartians, it’s time it was put on the PBS and made affordable to everyone.

Hobart singer-songwriter Christopher Coleman (you might remember reading about him in our first issue) has formed an eight-piece supergroup featuring members of Augie March and The Drones to record his third album, The Great Tasmanian Escape. The band is launching their debut single, Jesse, at the Hobart Brewing Co. on 17 May at 8pm. The album was recorded in at Melbourne’s Sing Sing studios, produced by Glenn Richards (Augie March) and made possible through the patronage of Kirsha Kaechele of Mona. You can buy tickets at www.christophercolemanmusic.com

Politicians payday. Don’t forget our Federal politicians are eligible for a pension for life, so choose carefully!

HOBART HAPPENINGS

MAYOR IN THE CHAIR Hobart Lord Mayor Anna Reynolds is about to start a series of “Mayor in the Chair” sessions. From 10 May, the sessions in the Henry Hunter Reading Room at Town Hall are an opportunity for members of the community to raise something with the mayor or ask a question without making a specific appointment. The first dates are Friday 10 May, 1 – 2pm, Thursday 23 May, 1 – 2pm, Saturday 1 June, 11am – 12 noon and Saturday 15 June, 11am – 12 noon.

ELECTRIC CARS SPARKING INTEREST It’s interesting to see that at a national level the Liberal Party seems to be resisting electric cars but the Tasmanian Liberal Party is spending $450,000 in grants to support the installation of electric vehicle chargers. Is it because the state party are awake to electric cars being the future of motoring and don’t want to scare away mainlanders who travel here with their Teslas and co, and need to charge up? Whatever the motivation, it’s good progress for our state.

TASSIE TELSTRA BUSINESS WOMEN’S AWARD The business community got together recently to recognise the achievements of some fantastic Tasmanian women at the annual Tasmanian Telstra Business Women’s Awards.

Lucy O’Flaherty, the Chief Executive Officer of Glenview Community Services, is the 2019 Telstra Tasmanian Business Woman of the Year and the Small Business Award went to Lucy Given, Owner and Creative Director of LUC Homewares and Design. Last issue we chatted with Trisha Squires, the Chief Executive Officer of AFL Tasmania and she took out the Medium & Large Business Award. And in the Public Sector & Academia Award category Dr Katrena Stephenson, Chief Executive Officer, Local Government Association of Tasmania took the top honours.

HENRY HUNTER READING ROOM OPENS TO THE PUBLIC Did you know there’s a reading room at Town Hall that’s now open to the public? The Lord Mayor’s wing at Town Hall has three large rooms that traditionally have been used for meetings behind closed doors. Current Lord Mayor Anna Reynolds has decided she only needs one space to work in and has opened up the other two rooms for all Hobartians to enjoy. The Henry Hunter Reading room features notable artworks by Tasmanian artists, lots of comfortable chairs and a meeting table. The boardroom, with a large table for about ten people, can been booked by local community groups to use for special meetings.

Pop in to read the newspapers, do some homework, feed your baby or just take a moment on a busy day in the city.

Damage from the 2019 fires

TWICE AS BIG...TWICE AS MUCH DAMAGE? Words Qamar Schulyer Picture James Furlaud

T

he fires that swept through remote (and not-so-remote) areas of the Tasmanian bush earlier this year were estimated to have burned close to 200,000 hectares, about twice as much area as was burned in the last major fires, in 2016.

Fortunately no lives were lost, and very few structures, but obviously the damage to the ecosystem must have been twice as bad this year as in 2016. Or…was it? To get the scoop, I spoke to Jamey Furlaud, a PhD student at UTAS, who studies fire behaviour in wet eucalpyt forests.

Like all eucalypts, wet eucalpyt forests are firedependent. This means that they actually need to burn in order to regenerate. Sounds counter-intuitive, doesn’t it? But not only do the seed pods need fire to open, the fires also create favourable conditions for them to grow; fewer herbivorous mammals and insects, no understory to compete for light and water, and a nutrient-rich ash bed. Even the adults have adaptations to help them survive fire. Large eucalypts that survive fires develop hollows that prove to be vital habitat for native wildlife. So while

12

the recent fires destroyed many eucalypts, they will recover, and indeed, thrive from the experience.

The same is not true, however, for many of Tasmania’s iconic species, notably including the Pencil Pine, King Billy Pine, and the Nothofagus trees. Many of these fire sensitive species are Gondwanan relics; trees that have been around for millions of years, since Australia was part of the Gondwanan super-continent. The climate then was significantly wetter than it is now, and fire simply didn’t form a part of the evolution of these plants.

The Fire Centre Research Hub

SCIENCE In Tasmania, fire was virtually unknown in these ecosystems before colonisation. These species are extremely fire sensitive, especially the pines, and when burned, do not return to the ecosystem.

How did these plants fare in the most recent fires?

While the impacts from the fires are still being studied, initial geospatial analysis indicate that there was minimal damage to these sensitive ecosystems, with only 3% of the fires burning in rainforest, and less than 0.002% percent in Tasmania’s native pines. That’s great news for anyone concerned about Tasmania’s rich World Heritage areas.

However, this time we’ve been lucky. In the 2016 fires, a significantly larger proportion of sensitive ecosystems did go up in flames, despite the smaller overall footprint of the fires.

The big question is, what is the future for these plants? Unfortunately, a few things we humans have done have dramatically increased their chances of succumbing to future burns. First, of course, there is climate change. Climate change creates more hot fire-prone days, a generally drier landscape, and importantly, a shorter time in between fire seasons when managers can conduct fire prevention activities like controlled burns. But not only that, a hotter climate also leads to an increase in dry lightning, when lightning occurs in the absence of rain. That is what ignited the 2016 and 2019 wildfires, as well as many other smaller fires over the past two decades.

Before the year 2000, however, fires caused by lightning were extremely rare in Tasmania.

This hub has hosted numerous public seminars and workshops, including one where Jamey recently met with a group of researchers from Victoria and New Zealand who have been experimenting with green fire breaks. In these fire breaks, only smaller understorey trees are removed, leaving a tall canopy with a grassy lawn underneath. To preserve the ecology of the Tasmanian ecosystem, the fire toolbox will have to include a variety of approaches, all subject to considerations such as cost, aesthetics, ecological impact, and effectiveness. Organisations driving multidisciplinary, international collaborative research, such as the Fire Centre, will be crucial to manage and protect Tasmania’s ecosystem while we navigate a changing world climate.

This article is part of a series featuring early career researchers; scientists in the beginning phase of their careers. firecentre.org.au Follow Qamar on Twitter @Qamarsky

Climate change is not the only human factor in increasing fire danger. Surprisingly, the other factor relates not so much to what we’ve done, but what we have stopped doing. In other parts of the country, Aboriginal Australians conducted carefully planned burning, which resulted not only in fewer large fires, but also created grassy habitat for game species, such as wallabies. However, with European colonisation, cultural burning ceased across large areas of the continent, and fire danger correspondingly increased. Unfortunately the history of Aboriginal fire control in southwest Tasmania is virtually undocumented, which makes it hard to learn from millennia of experience.

So where to from here? Last year, the Fire Centre Research Hub was founded at UTAS, bringing together diverse researchers from around Tasmania.

COVER STORY

RODNEY DUNN OF THE AGRARIAN KITCHEN Interview Stephanie Williams Photography Adam Gibson

R

odney Dunn and his wife Severine Demanet have created The Agrarian Kitchen Cooking School in Lachlan and more recently their two hatted Eatery at Willow Court in New Norfolk. They’re now set to embark on their next project, creating the most amazing kitchen garden in Australia...at least.

reckon would be like this?" And after a bit of back and forth I said, "Well maybe Tassie?" Then there was an opportunity to come down with Gourmet Traveller, who I was working for at the time. It was every bit of what I dreamt it would be and more. I was totally in love with the place.

You’re a trained chef, completing your apprenticeship with the acclaimed Tetsuya Wakuda. How has that influenced your career?

Any time you mention his name you get this instant respect. It was really tough because I had never worked at that level before. Everything you had to do, you had to do it perfectly, even chopping herbs.

Looking back on that time, it really gave me a sense of discipline in the kitchen, which I'd never really had before.

What had you been doing before that?

I started off in country New South Wales, in Griffith. It was really interesting for me to have that Italian influence in my career. I attribute what I do now more closely with that, than my time at Tetsuya's. That food marriage thing that Italians do so well is what really corresponds with cooking from a garden and cooking seasonally.

The famous potato cakes

You then moved into food media where you were the food editor of Gourmet Traveller in Sydney.

How did you transition to magazines?

I've always devoured magazines and cookbooks, and I just love that creative side of it. I got to a point with restaurants where I couldn't imagine myself having one. It wasn't the trajectory that I had pegged out, and so I thought, "How can I still work in food and not have to work in a restaurant?" I met a food photographer and she helped me get work experience, then it just went from there.

Did you and your wife Severine have a strong concept for The Agrarian Kitchen or was it more of an evolution?

We had a strong concept before we opened, and to tell you the truth, it hasn't changed a lot from that.

It's evolved slightly, but when we came down we thought if we live in Tassie we want to grow our own vegetables, to have some animals, and do that whole River Cottage thing. We had to make a living first and foremost, but when I got excited about River Cottage I also remember looking around for a preserving course.

Or where could I go and learn about gardening. And there was just nothing around. There was nothing that connected that earth and kitchen thing that I really was seeking. So the idea evolved out of that.

Why Tassie? What brought you here?

Tassie came about because after watching way too much River Cottage. I remember having a conversation with my mate, Luke Burgess. I remember these exact words, saying to him, "Where in Australia do you

So we hear the cooking school (on the farm at Lachlan) is moving to New Norfolk, when is that happening?

The final classes here will be this year. So the new spot will mean we can really hone what we do. The ► 15

COVER STORY garden will be even more amazing. I really want it to be a bit of an ‘Eden Project’. I feel like here, we've sort of just cruised along. And I want to take it up a notch and make the garden even more. People look at our garden now and go, "Wow," and I say, "Yeah, yeah, it's all right, but there's this one thing missing." And now I want it to be totally next level. I want to be the most amazing vegetable garden in Australia, at least.

Have you had any famous guests at the school?

We've had lots of famous guests at the school!

Who would be your most famous?

Definitely Martha Stewart. A good friend of hers came to class a few years back and bought ten books. He asked me to sign one for her. We got an email out of the blue from her office saying she was coming and she'd love to meet Severine and I, and could they come to the restaurant? The restaurant was closed, but I said I’d be happy to cook for her if she wanted to come out here. So it was just our family and hers having dinner together and showing her through the garden.

"That food marriage thing that Italians do so well is what really corresponds with cooking from a garden and cooking seasonally".

What has been your inspiration for The Eatery?

It was about paying homage to what was already there. You've got this room with amazing architecture and pressed metal ceilings. We wanted to keep the openness of the space and as much natural light, keep it fairly simple and keep stuff we use to be true to our philosophy of the handmade. So for instance, the big lights through the middle were made by Christopher Boots in Melbourne and all the other lights over the tables have been handmade by our gardener, Lee. She's a trainer potter and apprenticed under Les Blakebrough, a pretty amazing teacher to have. We wanted to keep the vibe relaxed and casual. We didn't want to do fine dining where everyone's got their little scrapes and smears on their plates. It's not about saying, "Oh, we have to go and get babysitters for the kids to go out." It's like no, you bring the kids.

What’s your favourite ingredient to cook with?

I love eggplant. I could eat it every day of my life and not get sick of it. I like it roasted so it's really soft and 16

The garden at the farm

mushy. Or just slice it and maybe some spices on it, grill it and serve it with a dollop of yogurt.

When you come into Hobart, where do you like to eat and drink?

I really like Tom McHugo’s. I think they're doing amazing things with the food. I love Templo, Lucinda, Franklin, there's so many to choose from these days.

If you only had one more meal, what would you eat?

I always think about my last meal. It would be a very simple thing. Good bread. Good cheese. Good charcuterie.

Who is on your ultimate dinner party table?

I'd have to say, and she has been to the school, Alice Waters from Chez Panisse. Then Hugh FearnleyWhittingstall from River Cottage and Eliot Coleman, a gardener in Maine who does amazing stuff.

Breakfast, lunch or dinner?

I'm a big fan of the long lunch! ■

CHEF'S DAY OFF

SOFT PRETZEL Ingredients: Makes 10 1 ½ cups warm water 1 tsp salt 1 tsp sugar 2 tsp dry yeast 4 ½ cups plain flour 2 tbs vegetable oil Vince and his son Jack with their fresh pretzels

VINCE TRIM

EXECUTIVE CHEF, MONA Words and Picture Vince Trim

“Pretzels are a firm favourite in my house. They are quick and fun to make, and you don't really need to follow a prescriptive recipe so you can add any toppings and flavours you like.

Having just worked on a nine-course degustation menu full of challenging ingredients and invasive plants and animals like thistle, sea urchin and deer for Mona's new Eat the Problem project, it's a treat to make something simple with my family. This is the first thing I did with my boys on my first day off after our grand opening night feast, and the hands-on kneading and comforting bread-baking smell really hit the spot.”

MONA. ph. 6277 9900 www.mona.net.au @monamuseum 20

Method: Mix all the ingredients together and knead with your hands for 5 minutes. Place in an oiled bowl and cover it before letting the dough rest until it has doubled in size.

Divide into ten evenly sized balls and roll them out into long strips so you can knot them into a classic pretzel shape. Then poach in three litres of boiling salted water with 4tbsp of baking soda for half a minute on each side.

Place on a baking tray and brush with beaten egg and sprinkle with sea salt or your favorite topping. Bake at 180c for around 15 mins. ■

THE CHANGE Words: Darren and Jeanette Radley

C

limate change are two words very familiar in our conversations and language now. Once occasional sound bites in the media decades ago, the 21st century has seen an ever increasing awareness and public opinion focused on the subject.

Up until this year, almost all of the discourse in the media was by adults. However, young people and children are now voicing their concerns and anxieties, especially since they are the population group most negatively impacted upon by climate change.

Of the estimated more than 150,000 deaths every year attributable to climate change early last decade, an estimated almost 90 per cent were children.

This research was quoted in a recent Plan International, OAK, and Australian Youth Climate Coalition report on Children, Young People and Climate Change. The Centre for Disease Control and Prevention identify children as being at much higher risk of illness, injury and assault during an extreme weather event simply due to their size and

young age especially if they get separated from their families. Emerging research into the mental health impacts of climate change identify increased trauma, anxiety, anger, suicide and domestic violence. Is this the legacy we want for future generations? A way to overcome anxiety is to empower yourself by finding your inner strength and voice, and to express it through productive and worthwhile action that brings about positive personal and social change. This is what children and young people are doing - being proactive and finding their voice.

All adults need to do is join them so a healthy and happy earth can be left as a lasting legacy for generations to come. Adults can reassure children and young people by being available and validating their feelings about climate change. Adults can also be proactive to help the next generation to adapt and prepare to meet the challenges of our changing society and environment.

#TASMANIA – AN ONLINE LOVE STORY Words Genevieve Morton

H

ashtag tourism is alive and clicking in Tasmania. Never before has Tasmania been so successfully promoted across the globe thanks to some clever hashtags on social media. #tassiestyle was created by Tourism Tasmania in 2017 to encourage visitors and locals to share their summertime Tassie experiences on Instagram with friends, family and colleagues around the world. The campaign exceeded all expectations and took on a life of its own - #tassiestyle now has close to 200,000 posts. Tourism Tasmania Social Media Manager Liza-Jane Sowden says more than 800,000 images and videos have been tagged with #tassiestyle and #discovertasmania on Instagram alone to date. “We no longer have to wait for potential visitors to pick up a magazine, turn on a TV or log onto their computer – most people are never far from their phone, giving us a constant opportunity to reach out and connect with them,” she says. “Nobody tells a story about a destination more effectively and more authentically than the locals or people who experience it first hand. This conversation plays a huge part in what people look for when making a travel decision.”

The Tasmanian travel hub Hobart And Beyond has also “exploded with social love”, says marketing manager Chelsea Bell. #hobartandbeyond has more than 186,000 posts on Instagram. “It has given our visitors so much more power to influence travel and it’s also an opportunity for them to become advocates for our beautiful island state and spread the word about how wonderful Tasmania is to their friends and family,” she says.►

Hobart businesses are also feeling the love. The hashtags are increasingly used by lifestyle brands, boosting their exposure to potential visitors looking for the most popular cafes, restaurants and boutique accommodation. “It’s allowed industry to have a presence and create connections to their products and experiences with visitors – past, present or aspiring,” Chelsea says.

The power of hashtag tourism has never been so strong. According to www.tourismtribe.com, 52% of travellers were so influenced by social media in 2018 they changed their travel plans. Instagram reports the platform is the go-to social network for 48% of people choosing a destination for their next getaway - and 35% of them use Instagram to discover new places.

Liza-Jane says the Tourism Tasmania hashtags are used up to 500 times a day. “When you factor in the content we see coming in on Twitter, Facebook and Instagram Stories, there would be well over a million Tassie stories shared with us.” ■

FAMILY FRIENDLY DINING Words and Picture: Stephanie Williams

T

here’s family friendly, then there’s family friendly. The first is an establishment that has a kids menu - a few fried options and not much more.

The second is somewhere that you genuinely feel comfortable being.

The space absorbs the noise of a boisterous toddler, the menu has both treat and healthy options and there might even be a little section for play or colouring in. At very least, you don’t feel judged taking an iPad there! A true family friendly venue is gold and here’s our list of favourites around Hobart. We’d love to hear yours, so drop us a line or a tag and we’ll add to the list.

Queens Pastry We wouldn’t recommend taking a big group and loads of prams here but it’s a functional space for a family coffee date. Think superb donuts, croissants and good coffee with easy parking in the side streets.

114 Harrington Street, Hobart. 6236 9198 Rivulet Cafe On the banks of the rivulet in South Hobart, the Rivulet Cafe is the ultimate in kid friendly cafes. There’s an actual playground there, lots of kid friendly fare (hello banana bread!) and both inside and outside seating options with plenty of space for a whole parent’s group of prams.

64 Anglesea Street, South Hobart. 6122 0112 WINNER, WINNER, KID-FRIENDLY DINNER Mures Definitely an oldie but a goodie. In summer the outdoor seating comes complete with water sprayers to ward off cheeky seagulls and the menu, while fried, is oh-so-attractive to most kids. Indoors, the space absorbs even the rowdiest of kids. And there’s icecream. Enough said!

Victoria Dock, Hobart. 6231 2009 Myu Easy Bites This hidden gem on New Town Road, New Town, is great for kids who like to adventure off the kids menu, but stay safe. Think dumplings, ribs, bao - delicious Malay-style food that can easily be toned down in the chilli department for little tummies. Their wine and beer list is strong too, so parents needing a wind down will be well catered for too.

Shop 2/93 New Town Road, New Town. 6228 7777 Saigon Express For very low key, but very delicious Vietnamese head to this unassuming spot in North Hobart. The amazing thing here is that if your kids aren’t into Vietnamese side of the menu they also serve fried chicken, chips and burgers too. But trust us, you’re going to want to try the prawn pancake and delicious bun noodle salad. BYO for the parentals.

335 Elizabeth Street, Hobart. 6231 6115 Local Pizza Older kids (and younger too, lets face it, everyone loves pizza!) will enjoy a night at Local Pizza at Berriedale. Proper chewy, traditional Napoli style pizza with a great range of toppings, followed by epic sundaes which change regularly. 52 Maroni Road, Berridale. 6249 3573

OVERWHELM – WORK LIFE OVERLOAD Words Genevieve Morton

I

t’s time to slash your ‘to do’ list and switch off your screens. The state of ‘overwhelm’ is increasingly highlighted by wellness practitioners as the inability to think clearly and emotionally manage all the tasks we’ve set for ourselves.

“We end up stuck, unable to move forward from the enormity of it all,” says Amy Crawford, Tasmanian health coach, author and creator of The Holistic Ingredient. She says overwhelm comes from trying to achieve too many things at the same time. “Now more than ever we are connected to our devices, our attention fluttering between emails, Instagram, Facebook, Twitter, text messages and we’ve become so busy and distracted that it is costing us not only our efficiency, but for many of us, our peace of mind,” she says. “With each email, text message, phone call, invitation, social media post, another layer of distraction or pull on our time is added to the burgeoning list of things that need to be done.”

Dr Greg Schwarz from Gore Street Medical in South Hobart says overwhelm can impact our health and wellbeing. "When you're overwhelmed cortisol levels are high, which impacts on blood sugar, immune function, how your brain works and how you sleep,” he says."Sleep is critical, we think we're tough and can live without it - we can't."

He says the first step to managing overwhelm is to

26

set personal boundaries and practice self-care. "It's really important to be able to prioritise and stop saying yes to everything. I see spectacular changes in people when they simply say 'I'm not doing that' and prioritise their own self care."

Amy recommends meditation, yoga and the use of calming essential oils, lavender and frankincense.

She says it’s time to accept we will never be able to do everything - and to simply prioritise living in the present. “Bringing our attention to the present moment supports greater clarity,” she says. “Our capacity to be present to whatever is going on around us allows us to witness the emotion rather than be overwhelmed by it.”

CLEAR YOUR PLATE • Establish priorities • Schedule in down time • Set realistic time goals for work projects • Resist multitasking • Don’t rush to answer texts messages and respond to social media • Set boundaries and say no • Switch off notifications

WOMEN-ONLY ADVENTURES Words Genevieve Morton

W

omen-only adventure tours are taking off in Tassie with more women opting for women-only hiking and camping holidays in some of the state’s most remote locations.

Women Want Adventure founder Monique Farmer says Tassie tours offer women the opportunity to explore the wilderness in a safe and supported environment. “The appeal is the ability to wholeheartedly be ourselves, talk about women’s business, go skinning dipping in freezing rivers and feel supported - it's an unspoken caring nature ladies bring and is very special,” she says. “There is something joyous about Tasmania and hiking, camping under the stars and being away from life’s pressures.”

Monique says Tasmania is the perfect setting for women to explore their adventurous side.

“Most women lead busy lives with little time for themselves. Adventure can re-ignite a woman’s desire to be herself, break away from routine, go places she has never been before,” she says.

“Our Tassie trips are perfect for women who are first timers wanting to explore the wilderness.”

Adventurers are from Tasmania, interstate and overseas and there’s a Walls Of Jerusalem Hiking tour on in November.

Adventurous Women tours travel regularly in Tasmania and will offer the Bay Of Fires wukalina

walk in November too. They’ve negotiated an exclusive ‘women only’ departure. Founder Sue Hile says her company was one of just three Australian companies offering women-only travel 11 years ago and since then has watched the industry boom. “It’s appealing for a number of reasons - single, widowed and divorced ladies prefer not to travel in a couples or mixed environment,” she says. “Plus the itinerary is focused and attuned to things that interest women.”

Eco tour company Girls Trek is hosting a 6-day ‘Walking & Wine’ tours taking in Maria Island, the Freycinet Peninsula and the Bay of Fires in September and October. The tours include indulgent lunch parties in the Tamar Valley wine region.

“Tassie is a very popular destination for women travellers for the stunning scenery, quality food and wine and cooler weather – perfect for walking and sightseeing,” Sue says. ■
