"The nature of our brewery definitely comes across in our beers. I like to think of our brewhouse and fermenters as the terroir."Bruny Island is quite unlike anywhere else in Australia and, fittingly, Bruny Island Beer Co is a truly unique operation too.The brewery's story began in 2003 when Nick Haddow founded Bruny Island Cheese Co; in the years since, he's become a well-known champion of Tasmania, its produce, and the art of making cheese with integrity.In 2016, Nick launched the brewing wing of the venture with Evan and Steph Hunter, who have since moved to the mainland and helped launch Bendigo Brewing. As with the cheese, Bruny Island beers have a focus on place, utilising local ingredients and eschewing more common styles.These days, brewing is headed up by Luke Rutland, a former Stone & Wood brewer, who is joined in the brewhouse by several brewers, including Amy Beavan. While in Hobart for the CIBD convention, we caught up with Nick, Luke and Amy to learn more about their stories, the cheese, the beer, and what life is like on beautiful Bruny Island.Ahead of the main interview, James and Will reflect on Fox Friday and the group's associated businesses, Carwyn Cellars and the Moonah Hotel, entering voluntary administration as well as our feature shadowing Aussie brewers at the NZ hop harvest.

Visual Artist and Curator Caroline Rannersberger has lived a transient life, living in multiple cities across the globe. Through her art she explores perspective of place, capturing visceral reflections of landscapes. It's perhaps no coincidence that she found herself moving to the remote Bruny Island - an Island off an Island off an Island. The step away from high-density cities was a natural step for Caroline, providing the ideal environment to deepen her work. We would like to acknowledge the Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people as the traditional custodians of the land and pay respects to Elders past and present.

God in the Everyday—Fr Mike Delaney—Bruny Island (Fr Mike's regular trip to Bruny Island to say Mass for the island's very small community reminds him of the first priest to travel to the island, Fr John Wallis, in 1933. Fr Mike tells the story of the challenge from the Bruny Island community to Fr John Wallace and says that challenge still hold true in today's regional and remote communities - Doesn't anyone care about us in the bush? Which leaves us with challenges – how do we meet people in this new age of communications in a way that addresses these same old concerns of being present to others? Perhaps it's being prepared to step outside the comfortable and look at totally new ways of doing things.)

The D'Entrecasteaux (or Huon) Channel and Bruny Island are in southern Tasmania. Most of Australia's apples come from the nearby Huon Valley – and where fruit grows you will find grapes and wine too. The flagship wine is Pinot Noir but Riesling and Chardonnay feature prominently too. I spoke with Jonny Hughes from Mewstone Wines, Katrina Myburgh from Wines of Tasmania and Bruny Premium Wines.

Michael is joined each week by Aussie historian, author & entertainer Jim Haynes, for his unique knowledge of the not-so-famous characters from Australia's history.   This week Jim shines the spotlight on James ‘Jim' Kelly - Our First Home grown Hero.    James Kelly was an Australian mariner, explorer and port official born on 24th December 1791 at Parramatta, New South Wales, probably the son of James Kelly, a cook in the convict transport Queen, and Catherine Devereaux, a convict transported for life from Dublin in the same ship.   He was in the first generation of native-born children of migrant settlers and convicts called ‘currency lads' and ‘currency lasses', to distinguish them from the non-convict British settlers, who were known as ‘sterling'.   In his day Jim Kelly was about as famous as you could be in the colonies of New Holland. He was so famous that ballads were written about him. His name was given to the steps Battery Point in Hobart, which he built, as well as Kelly Island and Kelly Basin at Macquarie Harbour. Kelly Point on Bruny Island was named after him but the name was later changed to Dennes Point as his memory faded. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Our final stop on the state tour of Australia, the last but definitely not least - Tasmania. Fun fact: you have to go OVERSEAS to visit this part of Australia, it's located on the bottom of Australia and this island state is a true gem!! A pearl in the ocean if you will. Actually, something you can do here is sample some of the amazing seafood - oysters, salmon, prawns and so much more. Tassie is famous for its fresh produce and incredible food and wine season. Salamanca Markets in Hobart is a must to sample a whole range of delicacies. We're joined on this episode by Emma's lovely friend and Tasmanian born and bred, Selina Bush. She shares with us so much of her gorgeous state. Emma had only been to Hobart and Launceston so now has a HUGE list of places to visit next time. From Cradle Mountain to Bruny Island, wineries to epic trails, this state is breathtaking and although it may seem small - deserves a solid amount of time to explore! Thank you for joining us on this fun 8 part series and please let us know if you enjoyed it! We'd love to do some more in the future. Thank you to all our Aussie guests for sharing their incredible states with us. I still call Australia home and after listening to this series, I'm sure you can see (well hear) why!

Lauren is a member of our very first Her Trails 21.1km program and like all of our members brought a unique and incredible set of life experiences to the table. In 2017, the Jonesys walked through the centre of Australia, on foot, off track, with their one year old daughter. Together as a family, they crossed some of Australia's most extreme terrain and conditions in hopes to more consciously live and connect to Australian country, people and each other. She is now a Mumma of two, works in corporate sustainability and recently moved from Bondi to a farm in Bruny Island.Born and raised in Seattle, in the beautiful Pacific Northwest, she grew up with a keen appreciation of nature and playing outdoors – usually in the rain! Lauren will never turn down an opportunity to hug a tree and spoon her dog Ollie – who really is the best little spoon in the world. She is a long time sustainability advocate and strategist, with a vast knowledge of sustainable and responsible business and investment. She believes in the power of business, collaboration and human experience to make a positive impact.Lauren believes that self-discovery begins where your comfort zone ends and is reluctantly never one to say no to a challenge.She is one part of 'Follow the Jonesys' - modern day adventurers who believe you shouldn't have to choose between having a family life and having an adventurous life. Her and her husband seek to challenge the traditional conventions of what it means to ‘settle down' and prove that becoming a grown up can still be fun.The Jonesys value experiences over possessions, have a love for travel, adventure and enjoy getting outside.Enjoy!

I'm delighted to introduce you to Jo Smith of Naturally Well with Jo. She is one of the most down to earth people I know, which is no doubt helped by the fact that she literally has her hands in the earth every day. Jo created an incredible market garden on Tasmania's Bruny Island, which feeds not only her family, but the local community, cafes and restaurants. She's also a yoga teacher, and a great friend to women, with a passion to help people reconnect with themselves, each other and the earth. She's also the mum of two gorgeous twinnies (as she calls them). In our chat, I found myself drawn to reconnect with the earth and afterwards I went outside and took my shoes off, just to feel the earth beneath me. I'm sure you'll love Jo as I do. You can find her on instagram and facebook: @naturallywellwithjo

When Claudia contacted me about participating in the podcast she told me she met her husband after buying a used car from him in Tasmania almost 20 years ago, and I was instantly intrigued. In fact the full story could easily come out of a romance novel -  Girl from a village in the Swiss Alps with minimal English language meets New Zealand single father after buying used car from him on Bruny Island and they end up getting married.    Claudia grew up in an area of Switzerland often refered to as "Heidi land", after the well know childrens books, in a small village full of traditions and rituals and a strong sense of community, something she also found in Tasmania.  Like many migrants, setting up life in Tasmania meant in many ways starting afresh, with her teachers qualifications not recognised in Tassie at the time. 

This week on the Teach, Learn, Live podcast we are talking to Ashley McPherson, Principal at Bruny Island District School.

Known as 'The Keeper of the Flame' in Tasmania, John talked with Harvey about what life was like in the lighthouses. See omnystudio.com/policies/listener for privacy information.

My father, Simon Allston, has been a pillar of strength, support and wisdom to me for the last 34-years of my life. Raised in England and a child of the British boarding school movement, my father moved to Australia for Law School. It was here, on Aussie soils that he found his greener fingers… and my mother. A proclaimed farmer on his marriage certificate, my mother and father moved to Tasmania to establish a greener life and family – including me! Mum and Dad raised my brother, James Allston, and I on a small organic hobby farm to the south of Hobart. Here they encouraged us to explore ‘The Valley’ and that I did, causing varying degrees of chaos with my impish spirit. Meanwhile, my father dug in the alluvial soils morning, night and weekends, and in between, he practiced law, first privately and later in the Government sector. Here he worked on many complex environmental cases, both for the Government but also charities such as the Wilderness Society. For the remaining years of his working career, he was the Tasmanian Ombudsman. As you will hear on the podcast, my father is a deep, compassionate thinker. We are oh-so-alike and yet oh-so-different. Where I played wildly and pursued competitive sport, I had lovingly thought of my father as a yoga-loving, green-fingered hippy! Is it Karma for these judgmental thoughts that I now find myself loving nature, plants, yoga, meditation and deep thinking!? My father is a life-long learner and forever, at his heart, a farmer. He now lives on Bruny Island in southern Tasmania where is he aiming to bring 70-acres of run-down land back to full health. His garden grows, his mind explores new learnings, and he is always ready to hold space for James and I as we, too, continue to grow. This is a rich conversation and I hope that you fall in love with it as much as I did during the recording process. Some of the topics covered in this podcast: • My father’s love-affair with gardening • Raising a wilder, competitive child – me! • A caution note about success • The need for us to live locally and conscientiously • The science of soil and how repairing soils can assist the reversal of climate change • Living on an island in Tasmania • Love, parenting and remaining true to oneself Visit the show notes at: http://www.hannyallston.com.au/simon-allston.html

This is the first of a series of interviews with the incredible cheesemakers that make up the MOULD COLLECTIVE. It's about putting them in the spotlight and helping you get to know them better which in the end, we think, makes their cheese taste even better Here we chat with not only the co-founder of MOULD A Cheese Festival and Cheese Collective, but cheese maker, author and founder of Bruny Island Cheese in Tasmania, Nick Haddow. For as long we can remember, Nick has been a champion of great Australian cheese. Our chat was a chance to catch up talk a little more about what drives him, his inspiration and how Bruny Island Cheese Company came to be. If you're keen for more, we'd love it if you'd subscribe to this podcast and tell your friends about it to. Or, even better, leave us a rating or comment as we're really keen to hear from you as to what stories you'd like us to explore and more. You, after all, are part of this collective too. Just one quick note though, we recorded this in the time of social distancing so over the internet, so please be patient of some of the sound quality. We can't wait to share more cheese stories with you. Enjoy!

Maddy Jane arrived on the scene five years ago, and after some breakthrough hits like ‘Thank You and Sorry’ and ‘No Other Way’, she’s now delivered her debut album. Titled Not All Bad Or Good , the album carries with it a wisdom and philosophy that sees the world in more than just black and white terms. Maddy speaks here to Richard Kingsmill about growing up in a remote setting, how it’s ultimately shaped her, and how important song writing is to her in relating to the world.

This week we revisit some of the incredible destinations and experiences we enjoyed in Tasmania, prior to lockdown and social distancing restrictions coming into play. We reminisce about our stay in the beautiful Huon Valley, and our visit to the annual Taste of the Huon festival that attracts over 25,000 people every year. From Huonville we travel to Bruny Island and spend a fantastic couple of nights free camping at the Neck Reserve campground. We sample the culinary delights of Bruny Island with visits to The House of Whisky, Get Shucked, Bruny Island Chocolate Company, Bruny Island Honey, Bruny Island Cheese and Beer Co, the Bruny Baker and Hotel Bruny.

Welcome to episode 12, Season 2 and welcome to Tasmania! Dreaming of Tassie? For the next 2 months we’ll be exploring every corner of the Apple Isle. There are 5 regions across the state, and we’ll be heading in an counter-clockwise direction, starting along the Cradle Coast, in the north west. Then down through the Western Wilds to Hobart and the South including Bruny Island, up along the East Coast, and finally through Launceston and the north. The hardest part of this next two months will be figuring out what to leave out, but it’s gives us a great excuse to start planning our next visit! Tasmania is one of the most mountainous islands on the planet, it is covered in spectacular national parks and world heritage areas. It is epic, spectacular and breathtaking. Our first stop is to the core of an ancient volcano, known as The Nut, in Stanley and then we breath in the World's Cleanest Air at Cape Grim.

A massive two-billion dollar bridge is being constructed to connect sleepy Bruny Island to the Tasmanian mainland. It’s jobs and growth for the Tassie economy but also meets with opposition from environmental groups and local interests.So when the bridge is bombed, the question is not so much who could have done it, but which of the many angry parties.Astrid Coleman is recalled home to fix the problem. She a relationship expert for the UN but with her brother the premier and her sister the opposition leader the biggest fixes may be closest to home.

Anna and Annie are thrilled to be chatting with Heather Rose about her new novel Bruny. Heather is best known for her novel The Museum of Modern Love, winner of multiple awards including the 2017 Stella Prize. Bruny is a political satire set in Tasmania, with Astrid (Ace) facing a conflict over a bridge to Bruny Island.  It touches on family, climate change and the influence of China.  We loved this mix of satire, dystopia and spy thriller. Heather recommends City of Trees by Sophie Cunningham and There Was Still Love by Favel Parrett, which she calls a 'salted caramel book' (our new favourite book descriptor). Heather's podcast recommendations are Oprah's Super Soul Conversations, Under the Skin with Russell Brand and Our Cinematic Universe. Next week, Anna and Amanda will be reading When I Hit You by Meena Kandasamy.  Follow us!

This episode was recorded on location at Van Dieman Brewing, where I was attending the "From The Wilderness" Beer Festival, a celebration of the art of Farmhouse Brewing.My guests, Head Brewer Evan Hunter, and his partner and Brewery Sales & Promotions Manager, Steph Schrodka, are the dynamic duo behind the Bruny Island Beer Co. Now in it's 5th year of operation, this little brewery on a small island in the deep south of Tasmania is very unique…they use open top fermenters and their brew kit is manufactured from old dairy farming equipment.Evan and Steph are knowledgeable, passionate and fun…lots of fun. In this episode I do my best to get them to let me in on their brewery secrets, which leads to some awkward moments and a lot of laughing! I also pick Evans brain about wet hops and farmhouse ales, Steph talks about selling their first beers and her love of fresh hop beers. We also discuss the challenges of having a brewery along side a cheesery and a bakery with microbes flying all around their open top fermenters!A fun and interesting chat, enjoy it!https://www.facebook.com/BeerHealer

If you've ever met Luke Sciberras you’ll know he’s larger than life. Full of joie de vivre and good humour, he attacks life with gusto from his fabulous garden to his renowned cooking skills so it’s no surprise that this life force is also manifested through his art. He's known chiefly for his landscape paintings which are created with layers of glorious colour and a variety of marks. His drawings and plein air works have an immediacy which take us into his experience - whether it's a boab tree a bird or a portrait. His art is always interpreted from life or from drawings made en plein air and brought back into the studio. But paradoxically what is most important to him as a landscape painter is in fact people. Those who are the custodians or owners of the landscape are just as important to him as the landscape itself and he needs to connect with them in order to create his work. He’s painted landscapes around the world from Europe to China but it’s in Australia that he’s spent most of his painting life – interpreting the landscapes of far northern Queensland to Bruny Island in Tasmania, from the Kimberley coast in Western Australia to the central desert areas where he’s created his art with the indigenous people of those lands. He's had 40 solo shows, his work has been hung in the Art Gallery of NSW, is contained in the collections of many regional galleries, in corporate and major private collections and his upcoming show of paintings from Western Australia’s Kimberley coast opens at King Street Gallery on William in Sydney in March 2019. I spoke with Luke in historic Hill End about 4 hours from Sydney where he has his studio in the midst of a wonderful artists' community. To hear the interview press 'play' beneath the feature photo above. See a short video of Luke in his studio below.

To celebrate NAIDOC week, we wanted to honour the extraordinary life of one of Australia’s foremost, but often misremembered Indigenous women, Truganini. Born on Bruny Island off the Tasmanian Coast in the early 19th century in the Palawa community, Truganini’s life was quickly transformed by the arrival of British invaders. After surviving a tragic early life, she realised she could help her people by becoming a guide and interpreter. But when she lost hope in even that, she turned to the bush and life as an outlaw. A content warning to listeners that this episode contains discussion of extreme violence and genocide.

arved from bush and pastureland on the outskirts of the sleepy little island settlement of Lunawanna on Bruny Island is Australia's southernmost vineyard. Richard and Bernice Woolley bought the Wayaree Estate property in 1997. With the help of Bernice's father John Dillon, they established their vineyard the following year, planting 2500 Pinot Noir and 1500 Chardonnay vines. The vineyard is set on a gently-sloping site with a sunny north-westerly aspect. In an ideal season, Tasmania's calm, clear autumn days are perfect for the slow fruit-ripening conditions needed to create premium cool-climate wines. There's a long tradition of fruit-growing in the Dillon family. Up to the 1950s, Bernice's father and grandfather had apple and pear orchards at Alonnah, one of the sparsely-populated island's few settlements. But the story goes back even further – Bernice is a direct descendant of one of Bruny's first settlers, who arrived at Coal Point in Adventure Bay in 1878. And the history of horticulture on Bruny reaches a further 100 years into the past, because it was on this scenic island off Tasmania's south-east coast that Australia's first apple trees and grape vines were planted in 1778 by Captain William Bligh. He was one of the many European navigators who sheltered in Adventure Bay on their great voyages of discovery from the mid-1600s to the early 1800s. (The bay is named for the ship Adventure, commanded by Tobias Furneaux, second-in-command of James Cook's 1772 expedition). Richard and Bernice have recently extended the Bruny Island Premium Wines vineyard, which now has 6000 vines. The two-hectare block is well-protected by an encircling electric fence – the wallabies and possums around Lunawanna love the Woolleys' grapes almost as much as the growing numbers of people who have discovered the wonderful cool-climate wines that are grown, made and bottled by hand on the estate. Bruny Island Premium Wines is a genuine family affair. Apart from Bernice and Richard's hands-on approach – they're involved in everything from pruning to labelling – other family members are also involved. The beautiful and unique labels of their wines are taken from original oil paintings of Bruny scenes by Bernice's mother Ruth Dillon (the Unwooded Chardonnay label shows Coal Point); while the graphic design is the work of Bernice's cousin Kylie Stokely. The Woolleys opened their cellar door in 2007. It features timber from the original vineyard site, and offers tastings and sales. The cellar door is open most days from 11am to 5pm. Richard and Bernice welcome appointments and group bookings. If there's no-one behind the counter when you call, just press the bell, because they won't be far away – in a family-run vineyard, there's always something to do!

Katherine Hattam is a multi award winning painter and printmaker whose works are held in most of Australia's major public collections including the National Gallery of Australia, National Gallery of Victoria and Art Gallery of NSW. She has exhibited in over 20 solo shows and many more group shows and has won numerous art prizes including the Banyule and Robert Jacks drawing prizes. In this conversation, Hattam begins by talking about the experience of growing up as the daughter of Melbourne art collectors and modern art patrons Hal and Kate Hattam.  Hal Hattam was a gynaecologist and later a successful painter in his own right and Kate Hattam was once reported to be the 'highest paid woman in Australia' in her job as the advertising manager of the upmarket Melbourne department store Georges. They held an extensive art collection of works of their artist friends which included Arthur Boyd, Fred Williams, John Brack, Clifton Pugh, Charles Blackman and Jan Senbergs. Portraits of her parents painted by Clifton Pugh and John Brack can be found in the National Portrait Gallery. Hattam's career initially focussed on drawing but her work eventually turned to painting and mixed media. In this interview she also talks about her techniques and preferred mediums, balancing motherhood and her art career and themes which arise in her paintings.
