Designed through an immersive, on the ground process with architect Robin Gibson, the course has been shaped in harmony with its natural contours, mature trees, waterways and sweeping parkland environment.

Crafted for golfers of every level, from serious competitors to social players and travelling golf enthusiasts, this course blends elite playing conditions with an unforgettable sense of place. It is bold. It is thoughtful. It is unlike anything else in Tasmania, and it is almost ready.

Ratho Farm is Australia's oldest golf course. Set in scenic countryside on the outskirts of Bothwell in the Central Highlands and heart of Tasmania. Ratho Farm Golf provides 18 holes of challenging inland links-style golf.
The Ratho Farm Golf Links were first laid out and enjoyed by the pioneering Reid family who emigrated from Leith in Edinburgh, Scotland in 1822 and set up Ratho on the outskirts of Bothwell.
Now restored thoughtfully and tastefully, Ratho Farm has become something of a national pilgrimage for Australian golfers to play and learn about the origins of their favourite pastime.
This sees the role of the Ratho Links turn full circle. From its original application when golf first brought together the new settlers of Bothwell to enjoy their shared Scottish heritage, to once again being an important contributor to the local community as a major drawcard for the region.
Ratho now not only offers a full 18-hole layout but also 20 new ensuite rooms in our former convict accommodation buildings. The Homestead provides a warm and welcoming setting and backdrop, with Atrium, dining and bar facilities as well as a golf pro shop and gift shop.
Unshackled – Hobart Penitentiary is the full site experience in one ticket:
Tour the historic site: a guided tour of one of Australia's richest convict sites, wrought by convict labour for convicts, moving through underground tunnels, solitary cells, the prison exercise yard, courtrooms, and the Gallows.
Explore the Convict Memorial: a digital history experience allowing visitors to trace the lives of each of the 75,000 convicts transported to Tasmania between 1803 and 1853.
The Hobart Penitentiary began in 1821 as the Hobart Prison Barracks, built as accommodation for convicts employed in Government public works. In 1834 the surviving Penitentiary Chapel was completed.
75,000 convicts were transported to Van Diemen's Land between 1803 and 1853. Of these 62,500 were male convicts. After 1821 all male convicts were processed here before being given labour assignments across the island.
In 1857 convicts still under sentence were employed in converting two wings of the former Penitentiary Chapel as courtrooms. One wing remained as the prison chapel for the Penitentiary, then known as the Hobart Gaol. The Hobart Town gallows were relocated to the site with thirty-two people executed at the site 1857 – 1946. Some 300 to 400 men had been executed at the gallows on their original site in central Hobart. The Gaol was demolished in 1963 while the courts remained at the site until 1983.
The West Coast Wilderness Railway Museum at Queenstown Station has been fully refurbished to better reflect the history of the Railway.
Using a combination of original authentic artefacts and informative displays, the museum recognises all those who have played a part in the Railway's story, from its original construction in the 1890s as a means of getting minerals from the mines of Queenstown to the port of Strahan, to its renewal in more recent times as one of the region's major tourism attractions.
Entry to the museum is free and it is open daily, with opening hours reflecting those of the adjacent station ticketing office and gift shop.
The UNESCO World Heritage-listed Coal Mines Historic Site is approximately a 75-minute drive from Hobart and a 25-minute drive from Port Arthur.
One of the 11 sites that together form the Australian Convict Sites World Heritage Property, it was Tasmania's first operational mine. Developed both to limit the colony's dependence upon costly imported coal from New South Wales, serving as a place of punishment for the "worst class" of convicts from Port Arthur, the mine was operational for over 40 years.
Today, the Coal Mines offer visitors the chance to discover among the uncrowded ruins and scenic vistas a different perspective on Tasmania's convict history. It is a great place to explore on foot, with a number of tracks and paths around the extensive site.
There are signs and displays to guide you around and inform you about the history of the Site. A printed guide to the Coal Mines is available from the Visitor Centre at the Port Arthur Historic Site.

Explore the tale of Bass and Flinders and Tasmania’s rich Maritime History at the Bass and Flinders Maritime Museum.
