A heritage listed Waterfront Hotel in Hobart, Tasmania with a proud history, it has been and still is a meeting spot for locals and travellers. Perhaps the seafood restaurant is the attraction. Maybe its the 13 beers on tap, or the great live entertainment in the lively front bar. Outside dining right opposite the water! Accommodation is available. Built for Charles Gaylor and licenced in 1846 it derived its name from the fact that the then Custom House (now Parliament House) is opposite. - Read more
The deep south of Tasmania is a land evocative of fairy tales. The fruit growing in the lush valleys and plains is plumper than anywhere in Australia, and the snow capped crags and alpine moorlands lying on the horizon complete the storybook setting.

The World Heritage area that covers some 20 per cent of Tasmania is at it's most wild and beautiful on the island's West Coast. Here the thundering waves of the Southern Ocean and the uninhabited rocky shores meet each other head on, as unpredictable as the rapidly changing weather of the region. As it is largely uninhabited, a journey down the West Coast is like a trip through an age-old landscape, through ancient rainforest and past steep sided gorges.
