It was all eyes on Tasmania’s artisan produce at Australia’s biggest fine food expo. That story leads the October edition of Tasmania’s Stories. Also this month, Tetsuya cooks up a culinary masterpiece; the way forward for Macquarie Point; and ‘Zorro’ to the rescue of an endangered owl. A celebration of classical music embraces our heritage; farmers given a helping hand; we enjoy five-star luxury under the stars; and meet the Tasmanian Grocer selling to Melbourne. In our news-in-brief, Brand Tasmania gets ready for its exciting new role. Please enjoy your October newsletter.
