Here is just one of my favourite local hangouts. Want a great beer and burger in a cheap and cheerful pub? Preachers delivers a different kind of sermon.

Establishment, Orchards & Farms, TravelBy Chrissie MathesonJanuary 18, 20172 Comments

Real men also pick berries! A very small drive from the Hobart CBD, lies Coal River Farm. Fruit of the vine, or canes and trees lie in wait.

Hidden Hobart: Behind The Farmgate Market

Destination, Markets & Fresh Produce, Tasmania, TravelBy Chrissie MathesonJanuary 13, 2017Leave a comment

Behind the farm gate or over the fence and down the lane? Hobart’s Bathurst Street Farmgate Market delivers the goods in spades. Literally.

Tavern

Hidden Hobart: The Hope And Anchor Tavern

TravelBy Chrissie MathesonJanuary 4, 20172 Comments

Has the hope from the Hope and Anchor Tavern left the building? Not quite, but some things need to change before the pub lives up to its name.

Hidden Hobart: The South Seas Cocktail Lounge

TravelBy Chrissie MathesonDecember 28, 20164 Comments

The South Seas Cocktail Lounge is the first in my series on ‘Hidden Hobart’ where we expose the vibrant underbelly of this beautiful beast of a city.

MONA Is More Than Just Nice Pictures

Been to MONA several times? Think you’ve ‘been there, done that’? Think again. The Musuem of Old and New Art in Hobart is more than just pretty pictures.

Jansz Vineyard

Jansz Vineyard Sparkles, and Bubbles

TravelBy Chrissie MathesonDecember 21, 20162 Comments

A gathering of beautiful people in a vineyard? What’s not to like? Especially when it’s at Jansz Vineyard, Tasmania. Champagne is just the beginning.

Frogmore

Review: Frogmore Creek Vineyard

Cuisine, Destination, Establishment, Modern Australian, Restaurants, Reviews, Tasmania, Travel, Vineyards, Wine BarsBy Chrissie MathesonDecember 16, 20162 Comments

This was a birthday lunch, and with two dear friends visiting from Melbourne, the celebration called for a special place. Frogmore Creek Vineyard it was.

Gaudi

Gallery: Gaudi’s Casa Battlo, Barcelona

TravelBy Chrissie MathesonDecember 7, 20162 Comments

When is a house not just a house? When it’s a work of art – and Antoni Gaudi’s ‘humble’ home in Barcelona is for me, the best example.
