For the third year, Pure Tasmania is proud to be naming rights partner of the Mark Webber Pure Tasmania Challenge. The attributes of this international event closely reflect the very essence of the Pure Tasmania brand - quality and inspirational experiences.
Pure Tasmania brings you Tasmania's essential experiences and finest accommodation at iconic destinations. Enjoy perfect reflections on a Gordon River cruise; the sounds of a West Coast steam train journey; footprints along the perfect crescent of Wineglass Bay; the alpine wonderland of Cradle Mountain; and the style of an Art Hotel on Hobart's waterfront.
The Henry Jones Art Hotel is Australia's first and only dedicated Art Hotel. Award winning architects have sensitively transformed a row of historic warehouses (the former IXL jam factory) into an enthralling and luxurious first class experience on the edge of Hobart's waterfront. The hotel is a fusion of art, heritage, technology and tradition. The combination of this incredible property, its adjoining facilities and a team of staff dedicating their best efforts to deliver truly personalised and professional service will exceed even the highest expectations. Winner of Australian Tourism Awards for Best New Tourism Development (2005) and Unique Accommodation (2006).
Cradle Mountain Chateau is the perfect place to base your Cradle Mountain experience, with 60 beautifully appointed rooms featuring their own private decks. Sample Tasmania's premier food and wine in the two restaurants and bar on-site. Adjacent to the Chateau is The Wilderness Gallery, Tasmania's unique purpose-built showcase for environmental photography.
Set on the Esplanade of a quaint West Coast fishing port, Strahan Village echoes the region's rich heritage in its architecture and provides a warm, comfortable haven.

Strahan is a comfortable day's drive from Hobart or Launceston and is the base for a wide selection of activities, including Pure Tasmania's signature experiences Gordon River Cruises, the West Coast Wilderness Railway, Piners and Miners.
Midway up Tasmania's stunning East Coast, Freycinet Lodge lies on the 42nd degree latitude line, experiencing a climate similar to southern France. The area enjoys more than 300 days of sunshine every year, and is famous for its local wineries, fresh farm produce and freshly caught seafood. Freycinet Lodge successfully integrates superb accommodation with the natural environment and offers a range of excursion options including our signature day experience Wineglass to Wine Glass. Cabins range from two-room family cabins to spa suites. Freycinet is a pleasant two and a half hours drive south of Launceston, or north of Hobart, on the East Coast.
In Hobart, Wrest Point is your centre for accommodation and entertainment. With four restaurants, five bars, live music every night, and a boutique casino, Wrest Point has something for everyone. Wrest Point's iconic tower has represented accommodation excellence for more than 30 years. A range of accommodation includes five-star Premier Suites and 4½ star executive suites, all with sweeping views.

Tasmania is an island of Inspiration.
You'll be inspired by not only vast World Heritage wilderness and Tasmania's unique wildlife, but also by the pristine beaches, sumptuous food and revered cool-climate wines.
Tasmania might be one of the great eco destinations in the world - a leader in nature-based tourism and, not surprisingly, the chosen destination for the Challenge - but even if you're not taking part in Webber's adventure you'll find plenty to do in Tasmania.
Tasmania is also an island of surprises and in this land of mountains and forests and mountainous piles of the freshest seafood your experiences might only be limited by your imagination. But then, the locals in the small and vibrant communities sprinkled across the island might also help you discover.
Find the real Tasmania through your own adventure. Tasmania: it's not just what you do but where you do it that counts.

The Casdade Brewery is set in the foothill of Mt Wellington in Hobart. It's a beautiful place to brew beer and they have a great history of using pure ingredients, so it was only natural that they created Cascade Green.
Cascade Green has been 100% carbon offset. From the moment they source the hops from the lush Tasmanian wilderness, through to when you place your empty bottle into the recycling bin, every single carbon emission has been accounted for.
They only use local Tasmanian ingredients and offset the transport associated with these. Bio-degradable vegetable oil based inks are used for the packaging, and the carton is 100% recyclable.
Having said all that, beer is nothing less than the most important refreshment on earth and, whether it's green or not, it should taste great.
There was no way they were going to compromise on that. Hops, malt and with barley all grown in the pristine Tasmanian wilderness, Cascade Green is a full-flavoured, preservative free, low carb, refreshing lager.
More than just a vineyard...
If you are looking for the epitome of cool climate food and wine experiences, your search is over... Just 15 minutes drive from the Hobart waterfront puts you on the doorstep of Meadowbank's multi award-winning restaurant, cellar door and function centre.
Surrounded by a sea of vines, and overlooking the spectacular Coal River Valley, you will find yourself immersed in Tasmania's wine country and all the sensory treats it has to offer
It took one person to stand up, find a new way, and re-imagine the outdoors.
KEEN began with a moment of pure vision. They stood up for hybrid products. They stood up for rethinking their own assumptions. They stood up for treating the outdoor crowd like a community, and inviting everyone.
Keen are committed to innovation in all things, to finding new solutions to old problems. They believe that sometimes the best thing you can do is the thing that's never been done before.
KEEN stands for a new kind of business model: as responsible as they are profitable, and committed to doing good with the resources they have. Above all, they stand for turning ideals into actions.
The KEEN Foundation was created with this in mind. They partner with environmental, conservation and social organisations, particularly those interested in connecting people with the outdoors. It's their way of starting small and making a difference, of taking an individual impulse and creating a community around it. Create, play and care. It's a way of life.
They call it HybridLife.
