UNIQUE EXPERIENCES CLAREMONT

Something Wild is a Non Government Funded Private wildlife sanctuary and is the worlds largest Tasmanian Devil Sanctuary encompassing approx. 1200 acres. The main visitor site covers an area of 30 acres allowing plenty of space for these animals to feed and interact as they would in the wild. There are pathways around the sanctuary to allow for full access for wheelchairs, to all the facilities. A golf car is available for groups.
We take great pride in the fact that we have moved away from the traditional \'wildlife park\' where most visitors have been used to seeing our native wildlife over previous years. Our feedback indicates our visitors like to see large habitats designed to suit an animals specific needs. In years gone by, wildlife parks and zoo\'s have not been the most comfortable and humane places for animals to live.

Laurel Bank Vineyard is a boutique vineyard at Granton, southern Tasmania. Granton overlooks the Derwent River west of Hobart, a fifteen minute drive from the city centre (18 kilometres/11 miles). The picturesque, three hectare Laurel Bank Vineyard produces a range of medal and award-winning cool climate wines including pinot noir, merlot, cabernet, sauvignon blanc and cabernet franc. You can taste the range of wines at the cellar door by appointment and enjoy the great views of the Derwent River. Tasmania's cool climate sets it apart from the rest of Australia as a prime wine-growing region. The Island's first experiment with grapevines led to a white wine being shown at the Paris Exhibition in 1848. Since then, the Tasmanian wine industry has grown to over 200 vineyards, producing more than 6,500 tonnes of grapes per year. Tasmania's cool climate with its long, sunny autumns is perfect for growing intensely-flavoured Chardonnay, Pinot Noir, Gewürtztraminer and Riesling grapes.

Museum of Old and New Art - MONA opened in Hobart in January 2011. It houses a collection that ranges from ancient Egyptian mummies to some of the world's most infamous and thought-provoking contemporary art. The building's subterranean design and the owner's unconventional and challenging curatorial approach make it a must-see for any visitor to Australia. MONA takes a different approach to interpretation: there are no labels or wall texts. Instead, visitors are given a touch-screen device, which is sensitive to their location in the museum - showing them works in their proximity. Called the 'O', it allows visitors to select the level of information they need and to vote for works they 'hate' or 'love'. Itinerary options include a MONA fast catamaran service from the Hobart waterfront or MONA-ROMA mini-bus transport; day and night packages with indulgence, wine and food experiences available. MONA is on the River Derwent, just 15 minutes' drive north of Hobart, Tasmania. Open six days a week, 10am - 6pm. Closed Tuesdays.

Derwent Estate is a family owned and operated wine business at Granton in Tasmania's south. Just 20 minutes north of Hobart, the largest city in Tasmania, the vineyard is nestled perfectly on north facing slopes which run down to the Derwent River, a perfect aspect for the production of cool climate wine grapes. Plenty of prevailing westerly winds keep good airflow through the vines. Air circulation is critical in helping to keep the vineyard disease free. Located at 42 degrees south latitude this is genuine cool climate viticulture. Tasmania is rapidly gaining a reputation as Australia's premier Pinot Noir, Riesling and Sparkling wine producing area. Derwent Estate's cellar door is located in one of the two historic 1830's built houses on the property. You can taste our current range of wines, talk to the people who run the vineyard and even pick up some rare wines not generally available anywhere else.
