Every two years, keen adventurers set off from Recherche Bay in the far
south of Tasmania to row and sail to Hobart , over 100 nautical miles
away, in a fleet of small boats. This expedition over 9 days takes
participants along some of Tasmania’s beautiful and unique coastline,
from the wild south and along the spectacular and historic
D’Entrecasteux Channel and up the Huon River before entering the Derwent
River to Hobart. This arrival coincides with the start of the Australian Wooden Boat Festival The 2013 Tawe Nunnugah will start on 30th January and end on 8th of February.
