The Australian town that turned a sorry past into a thriving present (opens the original)
Read excerpt
The tufts of white bobbing through the blue sky above New Norfolk, a 40-minute drive from Hobart, are not unseasonable summer snowflakes but rather the seed pods of the willow trees that punctuate this River Derwent town. At Arthur Square, they fly over Saturday market stallholders, who gather with trinkets and handmade treasures, en route to The Agrarian Kitchen, spread over two hectares in the complex that was once Tasmania’s only psychiatric hospital.

Leather recliners, pet-friendly cabins: First look at new Spirit of Tasmania (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Captain Doug Harrower has been at the helm of the Spirit of Tasmania for 14 years.
