From the cleanest air in the world. Circular Head Tasmania provides spectacular produce to the world’s finest restaurants…
For generations families have harvested the land and sea of pristine, far north west Tasmania.
It’s a place where the winds are wild and the landscapes are epic.
Taste the world’s best beef and seafood, with ten days of authentic feasts, tastings, tipples and tours, celebrating the region’s produce at gatherings in pubs, barns, farms, forests and beaches.
Explore our remote environment and soak up some salt of the earth hospitality.
Stay in gorgeous places, (or bring your van), eat fabulous food, listen to great music and learn interesting things.
The STANLEY TARKINE FORAGE FESTIVAL creates a unique window for you to experience this prized
produce straight from the makers, growers and producers.
Circular Head is located in the far north western corner of Tasmania. From around the Rocky Cape Tavern in the east, to the remote property of Woolnorth in the far north west and Arthur River and the Tarkine in the south.
It has two small towns, Smithton and Stanley, but is dotted with tiny villages and little ports. The rolling green hills, grassy coastal flats, tall forests, long deserted beaches, off shore Islands and wild seas dominate the landscape and your attention.
Circular Head is at the edge of the world, where they breathe the cleanest air in the world, where rainfall is abundant, the wind ever present, the weather unpredictable and the seas unforgiving. On calm days the ocean looks like glass and it feels as though the world has stopped just for you.
Windswept and interesting, salt of the earth people, whose native dress is jeans, boots, hand-knitted woolen jumpers and beanies. May also include a jacket, leather apron or waterproofs. They nearly always have wind-blown hat hair.
For generations many have built their lives around harvests from the land and sea. They’re hardworking, resourceful, innovative and welcoming.
They produce world class beef, seafood and dairy products for export markets.
There’s also a long tradition of creative responses to their environment with many fine artists and craftsmen in the area.
Some are at the cutting edge for excellence in agricultural, scientific and environmental practices.
Book all your events, tours, dinner or music experiences…
An event not to be missed!
