Description:
In the heart of the magnificent D'Entrecasteaux Channel, lies a small island of immense beauty. Satellite Island has never before been accessible to the public. It remains utterly unspoilt. With 360° views of this southern hemisphere wilderness—a mix of beautiful native bush, ancient blue gums, sheer sea cliffs, pebble beaches and sunny coves—Satellite Island is a secluded secret hideaway, yours to explore for one very special day.

This one day excursion to the island will be the perfect opportunity to lift your photography lens to one of the most magnificent places there is. There will be ample opportunity to document all the beauty of the island, a place that perfectly compliments storytelling, travel, food, interior and lifestyle photography.

As a small group we will travel across to Bruny Island on the ferry, travel across to Alonnah to then be picked up by boat and transported across the Channel to Satellite Island, arriving at the Boathouse on the water’s edge. From there will have time to explore, soak in and photograph the island before gathering to enjoy an indulgent long lunch by the one and only Analiese Gregory, our own private chef for the day. Think freshly caught seafood and the very best seasonal southern Tasmania produce, cooked over coals, paired with a mix of natural Australian and French wines. After lunch we will have time to do as much or as little as we want to - enjoying a post lunch tipple; a walk along the rock shelf; a swim from the boathouse; searching for fossils; learning to shuck wild oysters straight from the sea; watching the autumn light dance and begin to set across the Southern Ocean; a wander to Last Glimpse Point to hear the pacific gulls; or simply finding a spot by the water’s edge to take in the sound of the sea and the Tasmanian wilderness. Our day will end with a boat ride back to Bruny and back on the ferry to Kettering.
