Louise
Bowers

Louise Bowers and Mr Bowers left their Melbourne suburban bayside existence in 2014 and replaced it with a small Tasmanian farm.

When you move to an island you become acquainted with wind. Now let me expand on that just a little. When you move to an island, and live in a weatherboard house on a hill, you get to know wind really well. A south-westerly in winter will barrel down my hallway, sending leaves and twigs scurrying along the floor to gather in piles under an all-but-useless door draught stopper.

Dinner with Hercule

by Louise Bowers
03 Aug 2020

The evening brought with it a howling wind from the coast, and an eerie feeling descended upon the now-empty gardens of historic Hawley House. Inside, an international group of guests sat quietly, waiting. A retired longcase clock in the hall...

We pay our respects to the Tasmanian Aboriginal people as the traditional and original owners and continuing custodians of lutruwita, and acknowledge elders past and present.
