"If you're heading to Mona, make sure you put in the extra effort to see the James Turrell and Alfredo Jaar permanent artworks — they are absolutely sublime and offer major inspiration for me on a dreary Hobart day, no matter how many times I experience them."

"On a cold winter's day, drive up to Mount Field and go hiking in the snow amongst the icy tans, stop by The Agrarian Kitchen in New Norfolk on your way home for some deliciously understated local cuisine."

"Head down to Hartz Peak where you can have spectacular views of massive peaks on one side and the southern coast of Tassie off to the other. Grab some sushi at Masaaki’s in Geeveston to eat on the summit. Hands down the best sushi I've had out of Japan — much of the seafood is locally caught by the surfing sushi chef Masaaki himself."

"Head to the Tasman Peninsula’s rugged coastline to dive with the seals or explore the Remarkable Cave. Grab some fish and chips at Dunalley on your way through. You can only order what came off the boat that morning."

"Give native Angasi oysters a try for a crisp savory flavor. They're endemic to our southern waters and our favorite pub, Tom McHugo’s, serves them for just a couple of months of the year."

"Say hi to Adam Rough Rice for me at Farm Gate Market on Sunday mornings. He does kanji topped with fermented delights — it's a cracker of a cure for a hangover. Grab some other local delicacies while you're there to take on your stroll up Kunanyi [Mount Wellington] later on."
