An exclusive journey through Australias most remote and wild northwest corner
Daily Tours
Join your guide Laura for an exclusive small-group tour through one of the most extraordinary and least-visited corners of Australia. Woolnorth Tours is the only public tour operator with access to the entire Woolnorth estate.
Your tour takes in the famous kennaook/Cape Grim clifftops — home to the world's cleanest air monitoring station — as well as the Woolnorth Wind Farm, historic colonial buildings, and some of the most spectacular coastal scenery in Tasmania.
Along the way, Laura shares stories of the region's Indigenous history, the Van Diemen's Land Company, and the working farm life that continues at Woolnorth today. You will see wildlife, taste the history, and stand somewhere very few Australians ever have.

What You'll See
Stand at the most remote point on the Australian mainland coast and face the Roaring 40s. The air you are breathing has travelled thousands of kilometres uninterrupted from Antarctica.
Laura, a proud Tasmanian Aboriginal descendant, shares the stories of the Indigenous people who have called this country home for thousands of years, and the critical events of early settlement.
Get up close to the massive turbines harnessing the power of the Roaring Forties. One of Australia's most significant renewable energy sites — the wind here never stops.
Visit buildings older than Melbourne, established by the Van Diemen's Land Company in the 1820s. Laura brings this fascinating colonial and agricultural history to life.
Woolnorth is home to an abundance of native wildlife. Keep your eyes open for Tasmanian Devils, quolls, wombats, echidnas, wedge-tailed eagles and a huge variety of coastal birds.
Woolnorth is still a working cattle farm covering over 25,000 hectares. See the farm in action and hear about the agriculture that has sustained this region since European settlement.
A Story Thousands of Years in the Making
Kennaook/Cape Grim sits on land that has been home to the Pennemukeer people for tens of thousands of years.
Your guide Laura, a proud Tasmanian Aboriginal descendant, brings this history to life with honesty, depth, and deep personal connection.
She shares the stories of seasonal movement across this country, the richness of the culture that thrived here, and the devastating
impact of early European settlement — including a massacre that unfolded on the very ground you'll be standing on.
kennaook/Cape Grim was also the homeland of Tunnerminnerwait — one of the most significant Aboriginal figures in Australia's history.
A warrior, a leader, and a man of profound courage, his story is as moving as it is important. Hear it told from his homeland and spiritual resting place by someone who carries his legacy.
This is not a footnote on a tour. It is one of the most important, moving and thought provoking parts of the Woolnorth Tour experience
sure to stir memories of your visit and emotions for years to come.
