25.01.2022 "Having Samson and his hypnotic firetwirling all to ourselves was such a wonderful opportunity to get to know my camera better and play around with dynamic lighting" said a participant on the most recent Hobart by Night Photography Workshop. The next one is real soon, Saturday 15th August and we start with a drink and technical talk at The Deck, Crowne Plaza on Liverpool Street - up high for late afternoon light. Any questions call or DM. This brilliant photo was taken by our... Expert guide for the workshop, Hobart Local and Professional Photographer and Artist Arwen Dyer. Arwen will be leading again, and Samson will again delight us with a private performance. Workshop information and tickets via this link https://thederwentexperience.brushfire.com/events/463376

25.01.2022 Hobart by Night, Dark Delight - our night photography tour

24.01.2022 Rathmore Rumble at Shearers Quarters Rathmore final push for last few tickets. 24 hours only Single ticket at $110 or more than one booked at same time $99 each. Included in the ticket is: transport in our warm 12 seater bus from Hobart and home again . Relax for a full 8 hours with everything done for you, a better yield than most weekends away.... Beautiful country side to not only look at, but to experience, like easing into a comfy chair. Campfire with mulled wine, hot chocolate and marshmallows A delicious homecooked 3 course homstead meal majority paddock to plate, Vegetarian option available. Weather will be fine, stars should be dazzling (cant guarantee, but very likely) A tasting stop along the way at a Derwent Valleycraft beverage maker. Please DM me for questions and details prior to booking. A verbal intention to come would be greatly appreciate to manage the last few tickets remaining. The reduction in price is all part of starting off a new experience / venture and aiming to make the first one really good, even if no money os made, as long as expenses are covered. At this price there is $0 margin. All ingredients are in place for a wonderful experience. Cheers, Sam

21.01.2022 The Derwent Experience is different, not your average Tour business. No set tours or itineraries. But you can still take advantage of the TAS Travel Voucher with us. Your Day, Your Way. Your group must be no less than 4 and no more than 11. The tour is curated based on what your group would like to do and in the WILD and BEAUTIFUL DERWENT VALLEY, CENTRAL HIGHLANDS and surrounds that may be ... Kayaking or Stand Up Paddle Boarding Fly Fishing, Hiking or Mountain Biking Farm to Plate and Paddock to Bottle or Back Wineries, Distilleries, Farm Bars and Cellar Doors or whatever you want to do - even if its just having a designated driver, some stories and a little guiding while we go hug some trees. Take quick at the website www.derwentexperience.com.au give me a call and we can discuss dates and options. Together we can support multiple businesses and Families, you will have a wonderful day together with friends and participate in a smart income redistribution scheme. I can of course help you with the reimbursement and answer questions - its $50 per person reimbursed for tours in September, October and November. Tours start from $65 pp. Whatever activities you select, I can arrange all of that for you. Also call me direct on 0412227111 Make yourself at Home you Fortunate Sons and Daughters of Tasmania Sam

19.01.2022 Rathmore House and Shearers Quarters Rathmore has 2 brand new residents with another couple expected in next few days. The weather is looking fine and dry for Rathmore Rumble this Saturday- still a few tickets left for our beautiful small group experience A great way to escape to the country for an afternoon and evening and simply Relax.

19.01.2022 Thank you to everyone who has liked our page this year. Social Media is really far down on the list for things I like doing, but as we know its part of life and a big part of how we connect and get messages out. I am really excited about some of the upcoming workshops, tours and experiences such as "HOBART BY NIGHT DARK DELIGHT" on the 19th (next Saturday) and "ASTROPHOTOGRAPHY @ 42 DEGREES SOUTH" the following Satutrday (26th Sept) - both have a few spots left. THE GREAT TAS...MANIAN 36 HOUR CHALLENGE has been postponed and will take place sometime in 2021. Once the dates have been confirmed with my collaborators they will be shared. I'll be doing a reconnaissance shortly on a "EXTRAORDINARY DAY OF UNORDINARY ADVENTURES" and hope to have that as a small group wonder day soon. A brief insight is Flyfishing at dawn on a Highland Lake followed by a 2-3 hour Hike, then some Mountain Biking at Maydena Bike Park and finally a round of Golf at Ratho Farm. This will be a cracking day for the high energy adventure enthusiast seeking something different. And lots more in the Pipeline. Team Building Activities for groups up to 11 is my sweet spot. The whole experience can be customised and the pricing will reflect YOUR objectives. Have a great day. Sam

19.01.2022 Our good friends at Point Assist (who specialise in Adventure Travel and related workshops in Tassie) are hosting an online Photography class focusing on Adventure Photography next Thursday. Details below

16.01.2022 Had a lovely zoom today with my Cousins who also started their Tourism and Visitor Experience business early this year just before COVID. They are hanging tough like we all are in TAS Tourism. When Travel starts up again - fingers crossed for a TAS-NZL bubble first - be sure to look them up for an amazing experience #landescapewanaka #visitnz #ruralvisitors

16.01.2022 Just enjoyed a coffee and introduction with Josh from Eat the Wild. It was really nice to connect with a young man following a similar path and passion as myself. I think his "product" is top notch and will no doubt be very successful. On a side note, I learned today the difference between a Gourmand and a Gourmet. I am the former and Josh is definietly a Gourmet - and for lovers of both fine food and the outdoors has birthed something brilliant and unique. I sense some amazing private dining and outdoor experiences for small groups up to 20 people on the horizon.

16.01.2022 Special offer for mid-week ex-Hobart outings for up to 6 hours ideal for small groups of friends or colleagues. Lets spread the

16.01.2022 A few thoughts on COVID 19, this weeks announcement by the Premier and the Fear Pandemic. Well, when I put them into words, some may find them a bit harsh so delete delete delete. Being positive then, lets keep smiling and looking out for each other. Spend our leisure and holiday dollars locally. And know that better times will come again.

15.01.2022 Really looking forward to Hobart by Night, Dark Delight on the 19th. Only 3 tickets left. DM or call with any questions.
