HISTORY BUFF

Set in Tasmania’s Central Highlands, a 90-minute drive from Hobart, Hollow Tree House is a fine colonial farmhouse on four hectares and now an exceptional period home – stitching together its past with the present. While items such as food were once left by farmers in a hollow tree near the road for locals to collect, hence the name, this home is now filled with fine contemporary art, objects and furniture for the owners and their friends to enjoy.
