Limited Edition experiences from Anthology
|
Welcome to the Limited Edition series |
| At Anthology we rely on our guest feedback and take your recommendations seriously. This helps us to develop new and interesting experiences for travellers to enjoy. Some of these experiences are adhoc, depending on the time of year and the people involved. We have called them our Limited Edition series. Our recent announcement that the Bay of Fires Lodge will remain open year-round stimulated plenty of discussion about the many different activities that could be enjoyed at the Lodge between walking seasons. As a result, we are pleased to offer two special interest weekends this May at Bay of Fires Lodge - both weekends are very different with the common ground being that they embrace the unique location of the Lodge. As a keen photographer myself, I am especially delighted that one of Australia's leading landscape photographers, Grenville Turner, has agreed to lead our first photography weekend. I admit to being very jealous of the lucky participants. In our January newsletter we asked if anyone would be interested in shorter guided walking tours that take in a portion of Tasmania's spectacular Overland Track. Similarly, this idea sparked plenty of comment and ideas. And here they are - we have set six departures for October 2009 offering three day and four day itineraries. I did the Overland Track last October and was thrilled by the stunning scenery that the changing seasons bring out - from snow covered high country to sun drenched button grass plains and raging waterfalls. There are also plans afoot for special events at Wilpena Pound Resort mid-year, perfectly timed for the completion of the resort renovation. So, we will stay in touch as new experiences are added to Anthology's Limited Edition series. Best wishes, Grant Hunt CEO |

Yoga workshop at Bay of Fires Lodge, 21-24 May 2009 |
| Sometimes we need to get away from the grind of our daily lives to re-connect with ourselves, our friends and family. Set on a hilltop, 40 metres above the pounding of the sea and surrounded by National Park, Bay of Fires Lodge is the only building on 20kms of outstanding coastal wilderness in Tasmania’s north-east. Here you will discover a new sense of clarity in a fresh, clean environment with wide open spaces. Join Sydney-based yoga instructor, Muriel Corcoran, for a four day yoga workshop at Bay of Fires Lodge - an ecologically aware building that touches lightly on the landscape. Comprised of two long timber and glass pavilions, the lodge provides a unique location to practice yoga and meditation in this beautifully remote landscape with the guidance of a well-known and experienced teacher. > More |

3-day Cradle Mountain Loop walk, October 2009 |
| Departing on just three dates in October 2009 this new three day guided walk will start in Cradle Valley and be based from Barn Bluff Hut, located in the north of the Cradle Mountain – Lake St Clair National Park and within Tasmania’s World Heritage area. The hut has hot showers, twin share rooms and offers delicious meals with Tasmanian wine. Each day we will explore a different landscape. On the first day we climb to Marion's Lookout and take in the spectacular views over Cradle Mountain with Dove Lake at its base. We then follow the base of Cradle Mountain, out along the edge of a spectacular glacial cirque then dropping into Waterfall Valley which we cross before arriving at our hut at the base of the towering Barn Bluff. > More |
