History

The landscapes on this tour hold stories stretching far beyond Tasmania’s colonial past. kunanyi / Mount Wellington has deep cultural and spiritual significance for Tasmanian Aboriginal people. In the Coal River Valley, European farming developed in the early 1800s, with the district becoming one of Tasmania’s major wheat-growing areas. Richmond was proclaimed a township in 1824, and its convict-built sandstone bridge, completed in 1825, remains a striking reminder of that era. Today, the village’s Georgian buildings and the valley’s vineyards bring together Tasmania’s heritage and its celebrated food and wine culture.

What a fabulous day. I would highly recommend John to take care and show you around Tasmania. We wanted a day filled with wineries….. we go that and lots of local information as well. Everyone had a fun and relaxed time.

We had a itinerary and John had no problem changing it with some places that we had high interest in. He took us to some out of the way places and had no problem changing directions in a minutes notice to take us somewhere we found just amazing!

It’s our first ever trip to Tasmania and John has been wonderful in showing us around what we should be visiting :) we went for the Port Arthur + food / wine tour where John has kindly dropped by 2 additional destinations for even more local food tasting!

It was exactly as described, plus we were able to customise a few things as we needed – including slightly later start time; pickup from different location at last minute. Thanks John for a great day.
