Qantas Holidays Brochure – Tasmania 2011/2012

www.pepperbush.com.au

We are excited to have our ‘ Taste of Tamar Wine Tour’ and the ‘Quoll Patrol Tour’ included into the Qantas Holidays 2011/2012 Tasmania Brochure which is distributed to over 300 Australian travel agents. We have been gradually building our Taste of Tamar Wine Tour profile over the last two years and are pleased that Qantas has decided to give it a go in their brochure. Our wilderness and wildlife tours like the Quoll Patrol have always attracted international visitors and the Tasmania Tamar Valley vineyard tour, or Pepper Bush Taste of Tamar Wine Tour’, may increase Pepper Bush Adventures domestic Australian profile and encourage mainland Australian clients to visit Tasmania’s impressive Tamar Valley wine region. Gotta love our Tasmanian Tamar Valley wines – we do.

Mt. Stronach Walk – NE Tasmania

www.pepperbush.com.au

Mt. Stronach is on State Forest lying 4 kilometres east of Scottsdale, the Mountain rises from 130 metres above sea level to 465 metres at the summit. It is geologically described as a ‘monadnock’ which is a prominent rounded mountain sized landform rising from the sourrounding plain; a large mass of erosion – resistant granite fromed between 350 and 400 million years ago. The slopes of Mt. Stronach are clothed in dry forests of peppermint and stringy bark eucalyptus with white gum and dry white top stringy bark around the rocky knolls along the ridgeline. Poorly drained areas carry Teatree whilst exposed granite slabs are often covered in Kunzea scrub. In 1903 a carin was erected on the summit to commemorate Federation. The walk is around 5 km and approximately 2.5 hours return. Wonderful views of north east Tasmania from the summit.
