While in Stanley we rented historic Estowen House. Situated in a quiet residential street with great street views of The Nut. Five minutes walk to town centre, and spotlessly maintained.

JKHC - TASMANIA FAMILY TRIP - WINE GLASS BAY WORLD HERITAGE SANCTUARY - PT. I OF X - ( 22/11/09 )
This is part I of an 10 parts video of our recent family holiday to Tasmania. The view from Wine Glass Bay Lookout is an iconic picture of the best scenery this Australian state can offer to tourists. It is a must see in Tasmania. The walk to the lookout takes approximate an hour with some 6oo steps to negotiate. The further hike down to the beach which we all did will take another one an a half hours with some steep climbing on the way back. Please enjoy the breath-taking scenery and note the fantastic weather of azure sky with just a mild 20degree Celsius in the temperature. It was a memorable trip for us.
The Marker - Spencer & Stanley Edition
A compelling modern design to lead the next chapter in Melbourne living
The Marker takes a significant step forward in the evolution of West Melbourne. A statement of quality, liveability and scale, to shape the urban fabric of an historic neighbourhood. The first edition, Stanley & Spencer, is perfectly positioned to take advantage of a landmark location with design that exemplifies a more advanced approach to modern living.
On the edge of the city and bordering a tranquil, tree-lined neighbourhood, the precinct is transforming into a leafy residential borough, with its industrial heritage reimagined for a growing community of urban dwellers. Surrounded by a privilege of Melbourne’s favourite parks and gardens, the area exudes an unmistakable village vibe. Connectivity is immediate with a tram stop at your door to transport you into the heart of the city, North Melbourne and the Docklands in mere minutes.
The Australian South Sea Islander Collection
While images in this video show a superseded version of the QSA website, the information is still of value and could be useful for your research. We will be updating the video in the future.
In the year that marks the 150th anniversary of the arrival of the first South Sea Islanders to Queensland, the United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organisation (UNESCO) has added 67 historically significant items from Queensland State Archives' collection to its prestigious Memory of the World Register. This video discusses the historical significance of the records as well as how to research them.
Many South Sea Islanders were forcibly 'recruited' - that is, abused and kidnapped - to work on Queensland plantations. Known as 'blackbirding', this terrible practice is discussed in the essay 'Australian South Sea Islanders in Queensland' on our blog site:

Why Tasmania Should Be on Your Highest List of Australia Tourism Agenda
Come to Tasmania to indulge in history, vast wilderness areas, Australia's most spectacular mountains, dazzling beaches and the freshest food and wine imaginable.
Home to just 500,000 people, the island of Tasmania is as intimate as it is beautiful. Its gorgeous capital city, Hobart, is home to one of the world's most intriguing art galleries, while northern Launceston is one of the few cities on the planet to be wrapped around a gorge. Drive anywhere in the island state and you can go from beach-lined coasts to World Heritage-listed mountain areas in just a few hours. Along the way you'll pass welcoming farm-gate producers, cellar doors and restaurants specialising in local produce so fresh it's the envy of the culinary world.
HOW TO GET THERE
Tasmania's two major cities, Hobart and Launceston, have direct flights from the cities of Melbourne, Sydney and Brisbane. Locals and tourists also use the car ferry, Spirit of Tasmania, which crosses between mainland Australia (from Melbourne) to the Tasmanian city of Devonport (near Launceston) daily.
Explore Hobart's Capital Treats
Tasmania's welcoming capital city, Hobart, is pressed between a mountain and a river, and provides a diverse range of city activities and experiences. Wander among the city's beautiful sandstone colonial architecture, drive to the summit of Mount Wellington for the best of Hobart's views, and dine on Tasmania's famously fresh produce in any number of outstanding restaurants.
Visit the Underground Art World of Mona
Hobart's amazing, subterranean Museum of Old and New Art, or MONA, is a heady combination of art and architecture. A multi-tiered labyrinth cut into sandstone cliffs in the city's northern suburbs, this world-class gallery has a collection of art designed to provoke.
Delve into Convict History
World Heritage-listed penitentiary buildings around Tasmania tell the story of almost 50 years of harsh convict life in the 19th century. Australia's most notorious convict settlement sits in the beautiful coastal setting of Port Arthur, a one hour drive east of Hobart. If you're feeling brave, stick around for the nightly ghost tour.
Rock the Cradle
The most famous of Tasmania's multitude of mountains is Cradle Mountain, a dramatic cliff-lined peak rising from the shores of Dove Lake in the state's north-west. View it from the six kilometre (3.7 mile) Dove Lake Circuit walking track or, if you're feeling energetic, climb to Marions Lookout for a stunning view over mountain and lake.
Wander the Sands of Wineglass Bay
A short walk from the car park at Freycinet National Park brings you to a lookout platform above the flawless white curve of Wineglass Bay on the eastern Freycinet Peninsula (three hours drive north-east of Hobart). From here, walk down to the beach and feel the sand between your toes. You'll probably meet a kangaroo or two on the beach, and may see dolphins playing in the water.
Be Seduced by Seafood
Seafood can come no fresher than this, as you take a boat from Hobart's docks for a banquet pulled straight from the ocean on a Tasmanian Seafood Seduction trip run by Pennicott Wilderness Journeys. On this day-long tour towards the coast of southern Bruny Island, you'll harvest oysters straight from a farm's leases, and feast on crayfish and abalone caught by your guide. The catch is barbecued right on the boat.
Meet a Devil
Wildlife parks across Tasmania offer opportunities to see the state's emblematic Tasmanian devil. Take a night tour at Bonorong Wildlife Sanctuary, 30 minutes drive north of Hobart, and you'll get to feed the devils in a tug-of-war game; or join a Devil Tracker Tour at the Tasmanian Devil Unzoo on the Tasman Peninsula (about a one-hour drive south-east of Hobart) to help monitor wild populations.
Go Nuts about Stanley
One look at cute Stanley, on Tasmania's north-west coast, is usually enough to inspire love at first sight. This colourful and welcoming fishing town huddles at the base of a curious rectangular hill named the Nut. It's the plug of a former volcano. Little penguins waddle ashore each night across long Godfreys Beach.
Get Bloomin' excited about tulips
Once a year, Tasmania's Table Cape becomes awash with colour for the Bloomin' Tulips Festival. The festival runs as part of a three-week event calendar (other notable highlights include the Bloomin' Tulips Cocktail Party and the Mayoral Ball). If you miss the festival, there is also the Bloomin' Tulips Foreshore Market, held on the first and third Sunday of each month along the East Wynyard foreshore.
Tarkine
To see the Tarkine is to want to save it. Produced by the Bob Brown Foundation with the support of Patagonia, this short film showcases the spectacular landscapes of takayna/Tarkine.
Interviewed in the film, Bob Brown observes that in the next handful of years the fate of takayna/Tarkine will be decided - protected for all time as a World Heritage Area, a treasure trove of Aboriginal heritage and spectacular wilderness, or dug up and hacked down for a few quick bucks.
Featuring breathtaking drone footage of the coastline, forests, rivers and mountains, this film challenges us all to visit the Tarkine and not be moved to want to save it.

Sunderland East End Heritage Walk From Boars Head Bistro
Sunderland East End Heritage Walk From Boars Head Bistro.
Welcome to the Boars Head Bistro, Coffee Shop and Boutique Hotel.
The Boars Head has been here since 1724, overlooking one of the most Interesting, history filled rivers of the world, and it has some of the most beautiful views in the City of Sunderland.
As we start out mile and a half walk from the Boars Head taking in the amazing views looking upriver to Wearmouth Bridge and beyond, be sure to keep watching as we tear wide open past secrets of Sunderland East End History, many of which are almost forgotten in time.
Walking downhill past the bus stop, take the first left into Hartley Street, walk 200 yards uphill, and on the left is Keelboat Lodge, built on the site of The Garths, 5 tenement blocks stretching from here back to the Boars Head Bistro, which is the white building seen on the left of picture.
Walk on for another 20 yards and follow Church Walk on your right.
Trafalgar Square is on the left, built 4 years before Trafalgar Square in London to house retired seafarers who fought in the battle of Trafalgar.
Next is Donnison School Visitor Centre, a Georgian schoolroom built in the heart of Sunderland East End in 1798 with a programme of heritage, educational and community events for all ages.
Shortly we will reveal the first of many past secrets, followed by a special free promotion from The Boars Head with amazing prizes, but first we visit Holy Trinity Parish Church, a grade one listed building dated 1719, and one of the oldest buildings in Sunderland East End. This church was also home to the first Sunderland Town Council, the first Library where you see the original bookshelves and the first fire pump was stored here.
The enclosed land to the right of the picture is the Great Memorial Gardens with its monument to Jack Crawford, a Sunderland born press ganged sailor know as the Hero of Camperdown.
100,000 souls lie just beneath your feet in this small grassed area. The enclosure is a memorial to Rev Robert Grey, rector of Sunderland from 1819 till 1838 which includes the Cholera Outbreak of 1831.
We now return to the Church, cross the lane to Trinity Square and take the first right. The first house opposite Trinity Square is the former Sunderland Hospital dated 1867 on the inscription above.
Retrace your steps again, turn right and 100 yards up on the right is Lombard Street, turn right here and walk to the building in front of you which is the Phoenix Hall.
This is another Grade One listed building dated 1783, and the oldest Masonic Temple still in existence and in regular use today. Besides being used by members, it is available to hire as a function suite by the public.
From the Masonic Temple, take the cut to James Williams Street, turn left to return to High Street East with the University Students Flats facing you, then right to Church Street East and walk uphill.
100 yards on the left is another Grade One listed building, Number 10 Church Street, built by Merchant John Freeman in 1711, and it is now a Bikers Bar.
Now cross the lane to Sunderland Maritime Heritage Centre where volunteers restore historic small boats and keep alive the great shipbuilding record of Sunderland East End.
Returning to High Street East, cross the road and follow the footpath down to Sunderland East End Fish Quay.
Here you can watch the fishermen unloading their catches and buy fresh fish.
We’re just about to reveal a hidden gem about The Boars Head, so head back towards the Boars Head Bistro while enjoying the views upriver to Wearmouth Bridge and downriver to the Sunderland Marina, with Sunderland University Campus and The National Glass Centre on the opposite bank.
Directly ahead are the gates to Sunderland South Dock where the Tall Ships Race Sunderland 2018 will be centred.
Here’s a glimpse of how it may look, this is Blyth Tall Ships Race with just 30 ships visiting. Sunderland will have over 80 tall Ships, over 3 times more than Blyth.
The Boars Head Bistro is at the heart of this Sunderland Events promotion and already taking bookings for the Tall Ships Race 2018, which is held on July 11th-14th 2018.
80 Tall Ships are expected to be tied to moorings with incredible views from the Boars Head outside terraces, so book your place here early!
Now return to The Boars Head Bistro up historic Youlls Passage, steeped in the history of Sunderland East End.
Now we reveal our luxury en-suite bedrooms, all themed on past Sunderland East End and historic Sunderland Events.
Residents enjoy their own raised outdoor patio.
The Boars Head Boutique Hotel welcomes early bookings from guests visiting the Tall Ships Race Sunderland 2018 from 11th-14th July 2018 and Sunderland Air Show two weeks later from July 27th- 29th 2018.

TASMANIA ACCOMMODATION BRICKENDON ESTATE
Accommodation at Brickendon
Brickendon Estate offers guests an extraordinary experience of staying on a World Heritage Site in an original convict built cottage.
The Coachmans and Gardeners cottages were built by convict labour during the 1830's and have been restored to offer an authentic colonial experience. Deep old fashioned baths, antique furnishings and private cottage gardens, these cottages are the closest cottages you will find to times gone by but with modern conveniences. Located in the magnificent Heritage Gardens of Brickendon, both cottages offer unique features that will make your visit to Brickendon complete.
Brickendon's Farm cottages are a wonderful alternative to the colonial cottages. Constructed with recycled materials and traditional building techniques, the three farm cottages ooze personality and invite guests to relax and unwind from their busy lives. With great views over the farm, a short walk to Brickendon's World Heritage listed convict built Farm Village and a stroll to the river, these cottages provide a real home away from home. Ideal for either couples, families or groups the farm cottages are often visited by a wandering turkey or rooster and it is not uncommon to see a hen with her numerous chickens passing by. The friendly farm animals are close by so come and enjoy life on the farm.
When planning your holiday - it is worthwhile thinking about travelling distances as Brickendon is within one hours drive of most places in Northern Tasmania and only two hours from Hobart and the East Coast. Use us as a base and enjoy coming home at night to your private cosy cottage.
