COAL RIVER FARM’S DANIEL LEESONG
Bangor is a property steeped with history and Vanessa believes it is this, coupled with the location and the use of local produce, which has helped with the success of the business. “We’re about being authentically us really. We’re obviously in a very rural, country part of Tasmania. We have these gorgeous Tasman Peninsula views, we are overlooking the bay and the farmland and we’ve got our stories and our history. The history of Bangor stretches back tens of thousands of years, obviously with Aboriginal history and then more recently with European history and the landing of Abel Tasman on the north shore of our property in 1642. We have some convict history, lots and lots of rich stories that we love to share with our visitors. “Then there is our local produce, we work really closely with producers, whether they be cheese, milk, oysters and venison, and we also showcase our own lamb and then obviously there’s the wine. We really focus on being us and really showcasing our local community. “I just think it’s wonderful for Tassie to be able to showcase what we can do here and the sorts of experiences that we can offer visitors that come. You can have an incredible experience in the major centres, but if you get
out regionally and explore the countryside, you’ll also find some incredible tourism and hospitality venues that provide a wonderful experience.
