Our original idea was to take a Wilderness Tour involving a plane ride into the heart of Tasmania’s South West National Park, where very few people venture.

Marking the anniversary of the landing of the “first fleet” of convict ships from the UK in 1788[1] it is not without controversy, recording, as it does, the beginning of the immigration of non-indigenous people to this country, with all that later resulted for the Aboriginal people.
