About
Tours consists of 3 elements, an up-close visit to the cliff top towers of the Woolnorth Wind Farm, Tasmania's first large scale wind farm and information centre. A visit to the historic Woolnorth property homestead and historic precinct, while driving through the dairy lands of the Van Diemen’s Land Company(VDL Farms). Finally, a visit to the breathtaking Cape Grim where we see the wonderful coastline, breathe the Cleanest Air in the World, and witness all the islands off the NW coast of Tasmania. 193 years of agricultural history and a focus on indigenous culture and connection to PLACE. Learn about modern, large scale farming, get your head blown off in the Roaring 40's, chance an up-close encounter with Tasmania native animals and access coastline that dates back 250,000,000 years. We are the only way to visit Cape Grim, part of privately owned land. Tours depart from 1665 Woolnorth Road, Woolnorth. Morning tea is included. All COVID-19 precautions are in place.

Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

The comments were very interesting however for $90 it should have been half the price. The morning tea was instant coffee, rather than brewed and the biscuits were bought rather than home baked. In previous years it had been a much much better tour. I would not recommend it for the price, it was not value for money.

Wow wow wow- we wanted to visit the Woolnorth Dairy and Wind Farm area rather than just getting to the locked access gates and see (very little) things from the distance. Fortunately we found Laura and her tour - on booking we thought wow $90 per person but we wanted to see it up close. The tour & Lauras commentary was exceptional and worth every $1 of the $90 - she even catered for gluten free (which gives her extra brownie points). She shared her exceptional knowledge and humour from start to finish.
We would highly recommend this tour and assure you, you will not regret the dollar outlay.
Thanks Laura for a great morning.

Hi Margaret,
Our day tours are certainly suitable with small amounts of walking on reasonable ground.
The majority of the tour is conducted in our vehicles and allows for great viewing of our spectacular location.
We hope to see you both soon!
Cheers,
Laura
