An appealing proposition that many from all over seem unable to resist. In September alone we will see fourteen business events taking place bringing with them 3145 delegates to the state. This will result in an estimated economic impact of $9,307,972 for Tasmania, alongside some incredibly exciting opportunities to showcase emerging industries for the state, as well as some already worldwide renown ones. You’ll hear more about some of the events further down the line so to be sure not to miss out follow us on Instagram, Facebook and LinkedIn. 

In the meantime, we thought we’d share some of our favourite places to visit, experiences to be had and what to keep an eye out for this coming spring. 

The Royal Tasmanian Botanical Gardens (Hobart)

You really can’t say spring without images of blossoming flowers, bees floating about, and picnics coming to mind, so our first pick for places to visit this spring is the Royal Tasmanian Botanical Gardens. 

Spanning a total of 14 acres, this cool climate garden is home to thousands of species of native and exotic plants. Visitors may explore the beautifully landscaped gardens, admire the stunning spring blooms, look for boisterous ducklings, have a picnic, or head over to the restaurant for lunch.

Junction Arts Festival

One of Launceston’s most iconic annual events is Junction. This intimate festival marks the beginning of spring and coincides perfectly with the Spring equinox. It is described as “one of extraordinary experiences in unusual places”.  

Discover and participate in exciting art and music experiences that you’ll never forget. Discover art installations, theatre, music and dance in unique spaces throughout the city. Explore the extraordinary architecture of Launceston, feast on lavish Tassie food and taste the finest spirits, wine and local brews.

Wee Georgie Wood Railway

Wee Georgie Wood hails from a time in the early 1900s when railway access was the only way to reach the small mining settlement of Tullah nestled in the mountainous temperate rain forests of Tasmania’s West Coast. 

Operating on scheduled weekends and special times throughout spring and summer, immerse yourself in a twenty-minute journey along the restored tracks that offers breathtaking scenery and fascinating history.
