Westbury is small, but the surrounding district punches above its weight. Within a few minutes of the studio you'll find a distillery, a wine room, an espresso bar, the local RSL, the village pub, and a few good cafés.
Tasmanian whisky, gin and vodka. Small-batch, paddock to bottle.
Boots, wine room and takeaway espresso bar. An unlikely combination that works.
The dependable go-to. A solid kebab after a long day out.
The village pub. Counter meals, a fire in winter, locals at the bar.
Honest meals at honest prices.
A handful of cosy spots for breakfast, brunch, or a flat white before you head out.
The mountains are close, the caves are closer, and the highland lakes feel further away than they are. Most of these are doable in a day from the studio.
The icon. Dove Lake, the Overland Track, wombats at dusk. Worth the drive.
Marakoopa and King Solomons. Limestone caves with glow-worms and underground streams.
Tasmania's alpine plateau. Switchback drives in summer, skiing in winter.
Devonport, Penguin and the rugged northwest. Coastline, dairy country and fish-and-chip towns.
Walks for every level. Short loops, full-day treks, dolerite ridgelines and waterfalls.
Tasmania's highland water. Fishing, fly-casting, and the kind of silence you don't find elsewhere.
Three minutes to the village. Twenty-five to Launceston. The rest of Tasmania, just a drive away.
