DAY 3: SATURDAY
SALAMANCA MARKET & A ROCKSTAR AFTERNOON
AT MONA
After breakfast, the morning is free to explore the famous Salamanca
Market at your own pace. Held every Saturday, it’s one of Australia’s most
vibrant and loved outdoor markets. Here, you’ll find a collection of more
than 220 stallholders representing artisans, designers and producers.
Tasmania’s ‘Own Market’ is one of those special places where you can
find Tasmanian handmade and home grown produce, talk to the makers
and producers, and discover the heart of this creative and resilient island.
This afternoon, head to Mona for your Rockstar experience. Mona, the
Museum of Old and New Art, is Australia’s largest privately-owned gallery
and museum. Showcasing the diverse collection of its owner, Tasmanian Salamanca Market
gambler and maths nerd David Walsh, Mona exhibits everything from
ancient Egyptian funerary objects and modernist masterpieces to a word
waterfall and a machine that mimics the human digestive system. Your
Rockstar experience kicks off as you board the Mona ferry and settle
into The Posh Pit – of course! Enjoy Moorilla wine, Moo Brew beer and
canapés as you sail up the Derwent River to Mona.
On arrival, enjoy an absinthe-heavy cocktail from the Void Bar before
heading into the museum to check out David Walsh’s sprawling
underground collection of art and antiquities. Then swan into the
museum’s Faro Bar and Restaurant for an excessive, five course feast
imagined by Rockstar executive chef Vince Trim. Sip on fancy wines
delivered from Mona’s infamous wine bunker. You’ll then have exclusive
access to some neuron-tingling James Turrell artworks to further addle
your synapses, before your coach transfer back to the hotel.
