It was a fantastic event with perfect weather and over 100 people making the journey down south to visit the reserve.
Part of Australian Heritage Week 2011, with the terrific support of the Australia Government, the celebration was the first of its type on the property since it was protected in 2006.
The reserve is of national significance - 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.
With the help of the fantastic team from the Living Boat Trust and supporters Adrian Dale and Allegra Biggs-Dale, with their craft Sealegs aquila, people were ferried over to the reserve in wonderful replica whale boats before being guided on walks and having time to take in the atmosphere of the area.
