I popped along recently to find out all about Bohemian Beauty, and why it’s such a popular place to get pampered. As soon as you walk through the door you are greeted by the beautiful Silvia and feel immediately at ease in the warm and friendly surroundings. I was treated to one of her signature pedicures.  As I settled into a comfy chair, I found out all about the business.

Bohemian Beauty: Silvia Bell

by Michelle Kneipp Pegler

Bohemian Beauty is a beauty salon in Ulverstone, in the north west coast region of Tasmania. Owner Silvia Bell is originally from the Czech Republic, also known as Bohemia. I love that association within the business name; I think it works very well.

Silvia Bell started her successful beauty business from her home in Western Australia and then after relocating to Tasmania continued to offer beauty services from her home in Ulverstone. She has over 20 years of experience gained both overseas and in Australia. After twelve years of successful home-based business, Silvia desired to take it to the next level and opened her store at 30 King Edward Street, Ulverstone.

Silvia originally built up her clientele on the great pedicures and manicures she offered. Word got out how wonderful they were. My pedicure started with a warm and refreshing soak.  Then my toe nails were clipped, cuticles cut and all dead skin removed; then finished off with a moisturiser and a lovely nail polish. New nail files are used each time for hand and feet treatments and stainless steel bowls are used, as they do not harbour germs. Everything is very professional at Bohemian Beauty.

Blowing In The Wind

by Roger Findlay

When we arrived in Whitemark we noticed action up on the hill. As twilight fell, we could see workers and a crane erecting a huge tower. Later that same evening, a truck parked up alongside our temporary holiday home (Elvstan Cottages) and my curious wife came back with the news that the two gentlemen were operating the crane up on the hill.

The original wind turbines ~ Whitemark, Flinders Island

At the Whitemark Interstate Hotel on ANZAC Day night the same gentlemen were enjoying a meal with a group of fellow workers and it wasn’t long before I took the opportunity to introduce myself to Frank the site manager. I also arranged to meet Frank on site the following day.

Looking down on to Whitemark (Flinders Island) from wind turbine location point

As I approached the tower, Frank was coming towards me. He had to be at Lady Barron for the loading of the trucks and crane for the shipment back to Bridport. With permission, I got a few photos but most of the action was over except for the final connection and commissioning.

Flinders Island Wind Turbine ~ Tasmanian Entrepreneur

Robert Nichols of Nichols Poultry in Sassafras, Tasmania is an exceptionally successful businessman. He has his own wind turbines that provide all of the energy for the poultry operation and I would recommend that you check-out the website…

Nichols Poultry has a division dedicated to wind turbines (Blowing in the Wind)

Just like me, Robert is from the East Midlands in the UK and we have a few things in common.  But he leaves me for dead when it comes to business and enterprise!

Robert has a branch of his business called Blowing in the Wind for the installation of wind turbines. He has kindly provided the information below for Think Tasmania with regard to the latest installation on Flinders Island:

The turbine on Flinders Island is an Enercon E 30 machine.  These are German made and are regarded as the best in the world.  The “30″ relates to the diameter of the blades (ie 30 metres). It is also by coincidence that the height of the tower is 30 metres. In favourable winds (and in Flinders there are many!) it will produce up to 300kw of power. This is a challenge on Flinders Island as the demand on a summers night can be less; as such the turbine chosen for this project has the ability to “spill” some wind by feathering the blades and reducing the output to match the demand. All of this is done in conjunction with the Hydro/Aurora power station at Whitemark via a control system that regulates the output to suit the demand.

Blowing in the Wind turbine ready for commission on Flinders Island

The E30 can convert wind into energy at a range of wind speeds from as low as 2.5 metres per second up to a maximum of 30 metres per second. Above this figure it is a danger to the machine to operate and so it will shut down. The optimal output is achieved at around 12 to 14 metres per second.  In total the tower weighs 26 ton; the Nacelle weighs 16 ton and the rotor weighs 7 ton.

The new wind turbine: harness the power on Flinders Island

The turbine is expected to produce about 25% of the island’s energy. This is the third turbine that my company Blowing in the Wind (BTW) has constructed, but the first away from mainland Tasmania. We hope to start construction of our fourth turbine in a few weeks’ time when the paperwork is complete. The Flinders Island project has been a challenging one with logistics to the island being a major issue. However, we hope that the experience gained by completing the job safely and on time will enable BTW to become involved in other embedded generation projects.

Rob, we thank you for this information and permission to use the photos. Now it’s my ambition to have a guided tour of Nichols Poultry (by yourself of course) followed by a chat about our old stomping ground!

You might just drive straight through Eaglehawk Neck on the way to visit Port Arthur Convict Settlement, or the coal mines historic site on the Tasman Peninsula.  You might stop briefly to visit the Tessellated Pavement State Reserve and marvel at that geological phenomenon before motoring on.  Or you might allow a little extra time and inspect the Dog Line and Officers Quarters Museum while you’re at it.

A bronze statue marks the location of the dog line at Eaglehawk Neck

A Scary Dog Line at Eaglehawk Neck

The dog line is a fascinating part of Tasmanian convict history.  If the statue is a true reflection of the actual dogs, they were ferocious!  Tethered at regular intervals, with lamp posts reflecting light onto cockle shells, the purpose of the dog line was was to prevent convicts escaping the Tasman Peninsula from the Port Arthur settlement.  Eaglehawk Neck is a narrow isthmus, and there were enough dogs in the line to stretch across the width of the sand dunes.  Their barking would alert the guards to any movement in the bush.

The narrow isthmus on the Tasman Peninsula at Eaglehawk Neck was guarded by a dog line

Obviously, the dogs needed someone to care for them, and a convict was assigned the duty.  Authorities considered Eaglehawk Neck the key to maintaining the security of the Tasman Peninsula during the convict period.  With that in mind, some dogs were even placed out on the water.  Combined with the thought of shark attacks, the area was practically impassible for all but the most determined and cunning of prisoners.  Martin Cash, who escaped in 1842 and went on to live as a bush-ranger, was one of the “lucky” few.

The historic site at Eaglehawk Neck ~ the dog line and Officers Quarters Museum

Officers Quarters Museum

The military station at Eaglehawk Neck was established in 1832 and by 1836 the settlement had grown to employ about 25 soldiers.  The building originally provided as the Officers Quarters is today a museum, which is free to visit.  The area once had a store and a jetty, and a hut where the children of the military would attend school.

Eaglehawk Neck, part of the convict trail from Hobart to Port Arthur

Eaglehawk Neck was an isolated location,  but communication between outposts was still possible.  Important, numerically coded messages were sent between Port Arthur and Eaglehawk Neck (and on to Hobart) via a chain of semaphore stations.  The mast-like structures had movable arms attached and were often used to forewarn the military about convict escapees.  So even those brave, desperate or stupid enough to chance the dog line or the sharks, faced a very slim chance of success.

For more information about the dog line convict heritage site, contact the
Tasmanian Parks & Wildlife Service.  The Mount Nelson Signal Station offers
another opportunity to learn about the semaphore communications system.

It’s marvelous what you can see when you open your eyes, and see the beauty around you.  Open our eyes we did, and found on our doorstep and only minutes from Hobart, a room with a view.  The Signal Station Brasserie is surrounded by a beautiful natural bush setting, with the most spectacular views of Hobart and beyond, all the way down the D’Entrecastreaux Channel, across to Port Arthur and up the Derwent River to Cadburys.

Words by Jen Holdsworth and Photos by Blanche Sayers

The day gave us a mystical view: clearing mist with the sun peaking through; reflections back to us from the Derwent River. Not a breath of wind, with only the sounds of native birds: Blue Wrens, Scarlet and Red Robins, Honeyeaters and Currajongs. Simply majestic!

No, we were not on Mount Wellington, but another beautiful mountain.  Down in altitude somewhat, and yet so close to Hobart, it is Mount Nelson.  My friend and I ventured minutes from our doorstep to enjoy a pleasant coffee at the Signal Station Brasserie, also once known at the Station Café.

The Signal Station Brasserie has also been known as the Station Cafe

History and Art: the Signal Station Cafe

It’s such a beautiful building! Originally housing the signal man and his family, the Signal Station was built in 1811 to report shipping activity to Port Arthur, then later on to Hobart as well. Over the years the building has had many transformations, but has always retained its beauty and personality. Current owner Ing, has transformed the café with a wow factor.  When you walk into the Signal Station Brassiere, you are greeted with stunning open rooms.  They are crisp and fresh with beautiful unique furniture and one-off pieces that reflect Ing’s passion for retro things.

Ing, the owner of the Signal Station Brasserie, has selected stunning art and furniture

On the walls are stunning works of art, by local artists such as Amanda Van Steenis, Julia Bradshaw and Mell Hills. “I really enjoy supporting Tasmanian artists, the feedback as been really positive” says Ing, who shows such pride in all the artwork.

Inspirational: Eat and Drink in the Views

The food on offer is inspiring.  After talking with chef Jon, who has trained in Europe, I can see his passion and the enjoyment he gets from coming to work each day; working in a place with stunning views and such wonderful Tasmanian produce.  Both Jon and Simone (his apprentice, who has written a wonderful book called Tasmanian Menu) have created a menu that is in touch with the surroundings. How does a pot pie of steak and kidney sound?  Or maybe a porterhouse steak sandwich with onion marmalade, fresh beetroot, garlic aioli and rocket served with vegetable crisps?  Sitting down on a crisp autumn day enjoying the stunning views, good company, and good quality (very reasonably priced) food…  Ideal I’d say.

Chef Jon also creates the most divine cakes each day.  Like chocolate quince and pear tarts; or walnut, apple and olive oil cake with honey butter and cream.  Plus of course an array of hot drinks including tea from the Art of Tea, good Tasmanian wines and Moo Brew Beer.  Jon also creates lovely preserves and condiments, something else to look out for.

Live Music: Sunday Afternoons

On Sunday afternoons the Signal Station Brassiere offers live music.  It’s the perfect atmosphere to host live music; you can sit outside to take in the views and sip on a selection of wines.  Or perhaps enjoy the music and the views from behind the panoramic windows.  Even the toilet has a view!

Enjoy the Sunday afternoon sessions of live music from the top of Mount Nelson

The brassiere can also cater for functions, weddings, corporate events, birthdays etc.  And what beautiful photos you’ll be able to take, with such a setting!  Onsite parking (no fighting with traffic), accessible for wheelchairs, a lovely host and staff in the kitchen… you will be guaranteed a spectacular event.

The Signal Station Brasserie makes a fabulous function or wedding venue

A Walk in the Park

There are many walking tracks close by, including the Truganini Reserve walk and Bicentennial Park walk.  Why not enjoy a walk and end with a stop at the Brassiere? I know my family will certainly be enjoying more visits to the Signal Station Brassiere, and I would encourage others to also pop along.  It’s just a stone’s throw away from Hobart and offers so many other sights without even leaving your chair.

The Mount Nelson Signal Station Cafe is surrounded by bush

The cafe is open from Tuesday to Sunday from 10.00am to 4.00pm.  Signal Station Brassiere update their live music schedule on their Facebook page.

What is a Tasmanian Country Town Hall? Well, it’s the hub of the community that at times brings the residents of the town together. It’s usually an unassuming piece of architecture set on the main street or near the main street of a small country town. You probably don’t even notice it as you drive on through. But it’s been sitting there through many a year and in all sorts of weather just waiting for that day or night when it gets all spruced up for a special event or occasion.

The Gunns Plains country town hall (RHS) brings the community together

The Little Country Town Hall

by Michelle Kneipp Pegler

The Gunns Plains Hall is one of those small country town halls that gets used fairly regularly. This community, which I am a part of, loves nothing more than to make use of their town hall. The Craft Group uses the hall every second Saturday of the month. This group was started in 2008 to help support the hall. We bring along any sort of craft and have a chat and make session. There are a number of regulars who attend and are willing to pass on skills or help. I have learned how to spin while in this group and enjoy it enormously. Women, men and children… it’s not just for housewives, everyone’s welcome to join.

The Gunns Plains Craft Group use the country town hall to meet and socialise

Gunns Plains Potato Festival

Our major fundraising event for maintenance of the hall is the Gunns Plains Potato Festival. It’s held every year on the Recreational Day holiday in November. The Festival has lots going on during the day to keep everyone entertained and always draws a crowd. Other events to use the hall that have been held during my time in Gunns Plains, have included Ten Days On The Island music night, casserole nights, catering for cross country runners and catering for bus loads of people who visit our community.

The Gunns Plains Potato Festival is based at the small country town hall

David Foster Chops Some Wood

We had an Indoor Woodchop night with David Foster and other great axemen not that long ago.  What a great night that was. We’ve also had a Scrapbooking weekend, Christmas BBQ and a Sell/Swap/Trade/Barter day and a community party/get together to unveil work, celebrate and thank volunteers who helped with the recent renovation work done on the hall. We have also had other assorted events, which make use of our wonderful country town hall.

My Patch in Place Quilt Project

We are currently working on a community quilt project called “My Patch In Place” which will see the combination of quilt squares that represent each family or person who live in our valley, added to a big quilt that will take pride and place on the wall of the hall. People who visit the hall will be able to see a snapshot of who lives or has lived in the Gunns Plains area in 2012.

So as you can see a small country hall is the heart and soul of a community and when put to good use it can have a feel-good effect on the residents of these country towns. Rural spirit is alive and well in Gunns Plains judging by the amount of hall use our little country town hall gets. This is just a little peek into the life of one Tassie rural town hall. There are many out there in small country towns throughout Tasmania that still get used just as often as they did when originally built.  And let’s face it.  Where would you hold those town events and get-togethers if it wasn’t for the humble little country town hall?

As a tourist on Flinders Island, I couldn’t miss out on the ANZAC Day Remembrance parade and service.  Earlier in the week we had met a few veterans who had flown in from interstate as guest of their old wartime mate and Lady Barron pilot, Gordon Rorison.

The dawn service took place at Emita. I am told it was quite cool with a strong breeze off the sea. Our excuse for non-attendance was our consideration for the local wildlife (wallabies and wombats) that would be out on the dark roads.

The bakery seemed to be the best place to be before the parade. Hot coffee and cakes were going down a treat with those that had risen early. Medals were proudly displayed on the chests of our heroes with some having served in more than one campaign. Wives were having fun too. They were rightly proud of their men regardless of the extra inches around the waist and the lack of hair!

32 Squadron RAAF Flight Lieutenant

Once a giant of a policeman arrived on the scene, those parading started to group. Flight Lieutenant, Shane Rowe, of the 32 Squadron had flown in from RAAF Sale the day before along with his wife, Mandy, Kerry and Pete (a former islander). With the Flight Lieutenant Rowe at the front and the schoolchildren at the rear, the march was a short one as was the service in the Furneaux Arts and Entertainment Centre.

At the end of the service, the Flinders Island choral group had a great time with the usual Roll Out the Barrel, It’s a Long Way to Tipperary and White Cliffs of Dover. I didn’t want them to finish as they were enjoying it so much. (Proud Islanders, I thought).

Whitemark Hotel: ANZAC Day Tradition

The Whitemark Interstate Hotel was the next port of call. ANZAC Day would be incomplete without a beer. The absence of Two Up surprised me but everyone appeared to be having a good time regardless. We didn’t stay for lunch but we did return in the evening. New friends along with Jeanette and I, found bottles of good quality wine reasonably priced as were the huge meals prepared by the jovial Irish chef in a cosy dining area. I was informed that the hotel accommodation was cheap, clean and comfortable.

On a day where Lest We Forget was at the fore, we will never forget this special ANZAC Day in Whitemark and those that we met.

Launceston: Rediscovered

Words by Alison Wilkes

I came across an interesting note about Launceston on the Lonely Planet website the other day.  It read: “It’s still a vaguely pugilistic town ~ there seem to be as many bikers and shirtless, shouting drunks as police ~ but the University of Tasmania, some great restaurants and regularly scheduled AFL football games are infusing the place with a more worldly outlook”.

What a bizarre description of the place!  This got me thinking, however, about what the people of Launceston, or conversely people that visit Launceston really think about the city.  Whether a person’s history with the city spans a lifetime or a sneaky weekend away, individuals each have their own experience of the place.

August 2012: Junction Arts Festival

Coming to Launceston in August is an exciting opportunity for locals and visitors alike to rediscover and redefine the city.  As part of the 2012 Junction Arts Festival, a live theatre project called En Route will be divulged and will enable visitors and residents of all ages to explore the city in new ways and fall in love with Launceston all over again.

For the uninitiated, Junction Arts Festival is an annual participatory contemporary arts festival that takes place in Launceston in August.  This year it’s happening from the 22-26 August.  The festival draws on local, national and international artists from all artistic disciplines to ignite the city and its community in an all-encompassing five-day feast of contemporary art, music and excitement.  Collaboration is at the core of Junction Arts Festival with audience members encouraged to be a part of the artistic works rather than just being passive spectators and programmed artists encouraged to work with one another.

En Route: Theatrical Walking Tour of Launceston

En Route is one of the many artistic projects coming to Launceston for the Festival.  It is presented in the form of a theatre-come-walking-tour of the city. Complete with audio guide, sound track and instructions, En Route will take small groups through Launceston, discovering hidden or overlooked spaces and telling long forgotten or unknown stories.  It’s a love story with the city, a guide to becoming an explorer of the world, a piece of live theatre where the city becomes the stage and the audience become the actors.

Clair Korobacz preparing for En Route at Junction Arts Festival 2012

En Route is created by a group of Melbourne artists called One Step At A Time Like This.  As part of Junction Arts Festival’s Artist Residency Program, the collective have already payed a visit to Launceston to research and create the site-specific work.  One Step will be returning to Launceston again in May to put finishing touches on their piece.  One Step has been all over the globe with En Route, commissioned to transform perceptions of global cities from Chicago to Edinburgh and all over Australia.  Most recently the piece was commissioned as one of only 30 international acts for the 2012 London Cultural Olympiad.

Five Days; Fifty Free Events

After the tour, there will be plenty more to experience around Launceston’s CBD as part of the festival including over 50 free events over five days, suitable for all ages and tastes.  A pop-up festival hub come live music venue will also be installed in Civic Square.  Known as the Junc Room and established in a hard- to-miss big top circus tent, the space comes complete with a fully licensed bar and catered café and will be the perfect place to relax with friends and family while enjoying a local drop, some great local produce and a line-up of Australia’s hottest musical acts.

Be sure to catch this once in a lifetime itinerary of Launceston, as well as a feast of other arty fun, and fall in love with Tassie’s second largest city from August 22-26 as part of the 2012 Junction Arts Festival.
