Set in the vast expanse of the Southern Ocean, the island of Tasmania is protected from the ‘roaring forties’ by a dramatically beautiful coastline. Rob and Rosemary Peterswald take us on a voyage of discovery as they photograph Tasmania from their yacht Oceania II. From the pages of this beautiful book you will hear the call of the sea. You feel the lure of distant headlands, the smell of seaweed on a stormy beach, the taste of salt air, the sun and wind on your face and the roar of the Southern Ocean.

Along the way we are able to break our journey to enjoy seafood recipes from some of Tasmania’s finest restaurants. On board there are simpler dishes from the galley of the authors’ own boat with wine recommendations. Both food and wine are beautifully captured by leading Tasmanian photographer Nick Osborne.
