Lowena Cafe and Accommodation

Glowing flora and fauna are among Tasmania’s most spectacular natural wonders. Pink-glowing possums, green-glowing wallabies, blue-glowing sugar gliders, plus technicolour owls, flowers, and fungi! Join Dr Lisa Gershwin on this truly unforgettable experience. Lisa will share the glowing world with you through fascinating stories and show you how to get great photos to surprise your friends. Plus, you might even spot a platypus! We will explore a safe forested parkland, in walking distance from Hobart’s CBD, in search of glowing marsupials, birds, flowers, and other species. The long and narrow shape of this splendid park naturally concentrates the animals, and because it is frequented by walkers and cyclists, the animals are less timid than in more remote settings, allowing us to watch them. Lisa will supply the ultraviolet (UV) torches and the natural history narrative, while nature will supply the wonder and awe. Bring warm clothes and a sense of adventure and curiosity. And definitely bring a camera! This tour is suitable for those 12+

We’re excited to offer a 7 day road and gravel tour of Tasmania. We kick off the first day with an epic summit of the famous Ben Lomond and Jacob’s Ladder. We follow an ‘off the beaten track’ route to Derby as well as traversing the Hydro focused Central Highlands. With the emergence of the gravel scene in the cycling community and the endless forestry and back gravel roads in Tasmania, this tour is not to be missed. Most of the gravel in Tassie is pretty tame, as such tyres with a minimum of 32 mm clearance and disc brakes will suffice, although please note that fatter tyres may be more comfortable. There are a number of steep sections on this route so be prepared to bring your best climbing legs to the party.
