Enjoy a walk around the former Brighton Army Camp, an amazingly rich site with many layers of history and stories. Immerse yourself in an augmented reality experience that brings to life stories from the site, such as Tasmania’s first commercial flights, trade between aboriginal bands, training for WWII, the housing of Italian prisoners of war and refugees from Eastern Europe, a temporary home for Tasmanians who lost their homes in the 1967 bush fires and a refuge for Kosovars escaping the Balkans War.

To explore the site with Augmented Reality download the Uist app from the apple store.

Bonorong

Bonorong is a Sanctuary for wildlife run by a passionate team of like-minded people. We’re a social enterprise: a little business with a biiiig heart. The skills and funds generated through the Sanctuary allow us to proactively address problems in our surrounding environment and communities.

A visit to Bonorong is a chance to come closer than ever to something wild and fragile. You’ll come face to face with animals that went extinct long ago in other parts of Australia — the same animals we’re working hard to protect now.

By walking through our old wooden gate you’ll become part of something special – everything we do, we do with your help.

From all of us here at Bonorong (four feet, two feet and no feet), we look forward to seeing you soon!

Tea Tree Golf Club

Tea Tree Golf Club (TTGC) is a private 9-hole country golf course located on Volcanic Drive in Brighton, about a 30 minute drive north of Hobart in Tasmania. Situated in a scenic semi-rural setting, the course is deceptively challenging for golfers of all abilities. The club always welcomes new members and visitors.

Public Art

Oh, and look out for pieces of public art around the place, you might spot some steely birds or a mural…
