Tasmania’s Stories
October 2018

Executive Director’s Message

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.
