Furneaux Tavern, Tas  11 Franklin Parade, Lady Barron TAS 7255
Come and meet the locals! Enjoy a drink with a number of Flinders Island characters and hear their yarns about island life. Sit in the comfort of the bar and look out over Franklin Sound – one of the island’s best views. Watch the fishing boats come in to the wharf and their catch of the day and watch as the town of Lady Barron comes to life when the weekly trading boat arrives. You may be lucky enough to pick a time when locals sing and play their music – out come the ukeleles, guitars and maybe a banjo. Join in the fun and entertainment. Other less spontaneous entertainment includes live bands or “Music on the Green” during the summer months when the entertaining focus shifts outdoors to take advantage of our wonderful climate.

Unavale Vineyard, Tas  110 Badger Corner Road, Flinders Island, Tasmania, 7255
Unavale Vineyard was established in 1999. From trial plantings of 5 varieties, we now have 6000 established vines with a yield of up to 17 tonnes of fruit. Weather conditions at critical times such as fruit set are our main challenge, overcome by strategically planted wind breaks. Guinea fowl & Cape Barren Geese roam throughout the vines providing good pest control. Our Vines are mulched with organically rich natural mulch. From the establishment of the vineyard – erecting trellising and planting vines through to pruning, harvesting and bottling we have been helped by a supportive community. Over time people have become familiar with the process and our annual ‘Music in the Vines’ is a ‘thank you’ to them all.
