Project X Promotion - Background

During the summer of 2019 dry lightning strikes ignited a significant number of bushfires in southern Tasmania, threatening communities in the Huon Valley, creating major disruption and causing considerable damage across many remote wilderness areas. The aftermath of the fires have impacted significantly on tourism and visitation numbers in the region, triggering an enduring, damaging effect on local businesses in the Valley.
Project X is a DarkLab initiative established through the support of combined State and Federal funding to reinvigorate visitation into the Huon Valley region after the devastating impact of the 2019 summer fires.
Project X comprises a series of major artworks from high profile artists installed throughout the Valley designed to bring visitors back into the region, connecting them to the unique natural values of the region’s environment, whilst experiencing immersive works of art.
The first artwork in the Project X series, Hrafn: Conversations with Odin by UK sound artist Chris Watson in collaboration with The Wired Lab, was launched as part of the 2019 Dark Mofo Festival.
As part of the Project X initiative, DarkLab is proposing to offer free tickets to Hrafn to visitors who book a night’s accommodation in the Southern Trove, through direct bookings only with Riverfront Estate. To do this, you must book directly with Riverfront estate before 22 December 2019 and we will provide you with a code for two free tickets to Hrafn: Conversations with Odin

So if you are looking for something different call in and get some of the HuonMeCrumpets.   These can be purchased at the Glen Huon Farm shop in Glen Huon

Fat Pig Farm Huon Valley

 We love the Fat Pig Farm, the farm is  at Pig Farm is home to Matthew, Sadie and Hedley. Together they run a 70 acre family farm in the beautiful Huon Valley, south of Hobart.  The basic concept of the restaurant is paddock to plate, nearly everything is sourced from the farm or close by.  You eat in the restaurant where the meal is cooked  Since 2011 Matthew & Sadie have been busy turning the one-time apple orchard into a mixed farm. Along with our namesake Wessex Saddleback pigs, the farm is home to chooks, a beef herd and a market garden. They have limited sitting each week, so its not a place you walk into looking for a table, so make sure you use their booking system at  Check Availability   So if you want to book a night with #rvierfrontestate we can organise getting you to and from Fat Pig Farm, for a small charge.
