Hello, You found me. First of all i am a father of three healthy adventurous boys and a happy wife. The love and passion for adventuring was installed in me by my patients. They gave me a diverse experience all over the world, from extensive bushwalking adventures, cultural immersion, education and relationships . This has taken me to many explorations amongst the tourism industry, outdoor education, instruction and awareness for cultural needs, international and local professionalism and being a good listener. Having worked for big business here in Tasmania and around the world, i am now very privileged to share and recognise the need for small private experiences within this industry i love, tourism. The guests and i can achieve great depth of story and experience, leaving with exception experiences, memories and many times friendships. I believe in constant lifelong learning within my industry space and stay relevant to our profession, also supporting the community which i live. This community is a small town outside of Hobart, Tasmania. Which allows for a diverse, healthy involvement in outdoor adventures with family, friends and visiting guests. Over the years i have developed a love for History, Flora and fauna, photography and local community. Building relationships with providers and producers.. This has allowed me to share our unique space, community and Tasmania, delivering great balance to a day or multi day experience with exception networks in industry.

Meyer lemon grilled salmon, charred broccolini, fennel, radish pickle - dinner is served at Frank!

Posted by Frank Restaurant and Bar on Tuesday, 15 November 2016

There is no better place to get the best Argentinian food, than at Frank Restaurant. They have brought quite the atmosphere to Hobart, with their chargrilled meats, empanadas and everything Argentinian you can think of. The interior of the restaurant is modern and a bit ostentatious. The menu is delectably pleasing and you get to enjoy it all with great wine from Frank’s extensive wine list. The staff dish out immaculate service and they know what they are talking about when you ask questions about the menu. Did I mention that they also serve cocktails? I did not want to leave!

Ettie’s is a restaurant that features the wonderfully marvelous chef Alain Passard, from France, and also holds a masterclass that can’t be missed. Its menu has a lot of classic foods that have been given a modern Hobart twist. You will not want to miss its trending dish, the roast chook (or chicken) and its feature dessert, crème caramel. If this doesn’t pique your interest, how about the quail with lentils or for vegetarians, the Gnocchi with mushroom, goats curd and chervil.
