Live in Tasmania

Whatever you and your family pursue in Tasmania, you can pursue it meaningfully.

"We uprooted ourselves and moved here, straight from France. We realised when we landed... ‘Oh, there are hops everywhere. And not a brewery in sight. Okay, we might need to change that.'"

The Apple Isle makes artisan cider

At one time, Tasmania produced the most apples in the country. Then globalisation changed everything. Tasmanians had to figure out how to make an advantage out of quality, not quantity. We had to invent a boutique economy, sector by sector. Today we don’t just grow and ship apples. We grow and process organic apples, with our clean air and water, and transform them into the most delicious cider you have ever tasted.

Today you will find artisans in nearly every aspect of our economy, building better – not more.
