Then one day in April 1793, the millenia of separation came to an end as Lt John Hayes sailed right up the river to present day New Norfolk, much further than Antoine Bruni d'Entrecasteux had ventured only a couple of months earlier.

In this period of suspended animation, of mandated hibernation, for the entire nation, The Derwent Experience will look after its family and friends, help out in the community as it is able and will hopefully be able to fulfill its vision and mission later in the year.

Astrophotography at 42 South, is all about the night sky and how to enhance it, capture its beauty and moods, and composition with ground level beauty.

I personally think that if every stressed, depressed and anxious person, every unfit, unhealthy and unmotivated person could just walk along a dirt trail in the bush for one hour it would be transformative.

At the Derwent Experience we seek to be much more than just another sightseeing venture for visitors.
