Track at Spring Bay Mill

  • This event has passed.

The site of Spring Bay Mill is a landscape steeped in history and marked by industry. For millennia it has been the country of Tasmanian Aboriginal people. This contrasts starkly with its boom-and-bust history of whaling, quarrying and woodchipping.

Over three days last year, a group of Australia’s leading and emerging designer/makers immersed themselves in this landscape under the guidance of internationally renowned practitioners Trent Jansen, Peter Adams and Karina Clarke. Sites of rest and reflection were explored and responses honed into a series of orienteering experiences designed to reconnect us to this special place. You are invited to navigate this dynamic terrain and experience its diversity, its history and its surprises.

  • Director: Karina Clarke
  • Spring Bay Pebbles: Geoff Marshall, Sonia Hindrum, Serena Rosevear
  • Pro-seed: Chris Berndt, Luke Dineen, Chenoa Pettrup
  • Transition: Tanya Maxwell, Mike Travalia, William Rhodes
  • Presented by Design Tasmania in partnership with Spring Bay Mill

The Tasmanian tourism industry acknowledges the Tasmanian Aboriginal people and their enduring custodianship of lutruwita / Tasmania. We honour 40,000 years of uninterrupted care, protection and belonging to these islands, before the invasion and colonisation of European settlement. As a tourism industry that welcomes visitors to these lands, we acknowledge our responsibility to represent to our visitors Tasmania's deep and complex history, fully, respectfully and truthfully. We acknowledge the Aboriginal people who continue to care for this country today. We pay our respects to their elders, past and present. We honour their stories, songs, art, and culture, and their aspirations for the future of their people and these lands. We respectfully ask that tourism be a part of that future.
