UNDER THE SOUTHERN SKY

Gateway to the Antarctic, productive agricultural food hub, UNESCO World Heritage Wilderness, the cleanest air in the world and net carbon negative status… there are many things Tasmania is known for, if not renown for, across the globe. Surface level thinking just doesn’t cut it down here, which becomes clear when you meet the locals, and this has led to innovation and excellence across a diversity of sectors and endeavours.

As they painstakingly built the now iconic sandstone IXL warehouses it seems unlikely that even in their wildest dreams, the convicts of Van Diemen’s Land would have imagined that the walls going up before them would eventually house some of Australia’s most important colonial artworks or showcase the island’s finest food and wine. Yet this quintessentially Tasmanian juxtaposition is the story of Landscape Restaurant & Grill, a Federal Group Tourism venue providing unforgettable dining experiences in the heart of Hobart’s Hunter Street waterfront precinct.

NET CARBON NEGATIVE

For the seventh consecutive year, Tasmania has achieved net carbon negative status according to the latest State and Territory Greenhouse Gas Inventories 2020 released in early June.

CONFERENCE with us

Not so very long ago, Tasmania was viewed by the rest of the world as that tiny little island at the bottom of the map, known primarily for apple production (earning us the moniker The Apple Isle) and the Tasmanian Devil (although usually the cartoon version as opposed to the world’s largest surviving carnivorous marsupial version).
