Recherche Bay Open Day & Heritage Celebration

As part of Australian Heritage Week 2011 celebrations, the TLC is delighted to have the support of the Australian Government to host the public for an Open Day at our remarkable Recherche Bay Reserve. We hope you and your family and friends will join us.

What: Recherche Bay Open Day Heritage Celebration

When: Sunday 22 May 2011 from 11am – 3pm. BYO picnic

Where: Moss Glen opposite Recherche Bay in Tasmania’s Far South.

As part of Australian Heritage Week, the Tasmanian Land Conservancy will open the stunning Recherche Bay Reserve in Tasmania’s far south to the public on 22 May 2011. This is the first Public Open Day on the property since it was protected in 2006. The site is on the National Heritage List.

The land is of national significance, it is the site that Blue gums were first described scientifically by the French botanist Labillardiere who was part of the 1792 D’Entrecasteaux expedition. The land also forms the natural bookend of the beach where French scientists and Tasmanian Aboriginal people had historic friendly meetings.

No RSVP required.
