The Tasmanian Members of The Australiana Fund are holding a discovery day at ‘Clairville’, the home of Fund Member and well-known artist Michael McWilliams and his partner Robert Henley. Built in the 1820’s ‘Clairville’  was owned by one family for generations. In 2019, Michael and Robert purchased the house including some of the original furniture. We will be able to wander in the expansive garden, tour the house, and visit Michael’s art studio, which is rarely open to the public. Michael McWilliams is a highly regarded Australian artist whose work is in demand.

The day will start with Robert and Michael discussing the house and some Tasmanian treasures owned and brought along by Members of the Tasmanian Committee. Lunch will be served with a glass of wine or soft drink in the lovely garden and later there will also be a Gin tasting from Turner Stillhouse. Tasmanian Fund Member, Brett Coulson is the Distiller. Their brand 3 Cuts Gin is delicious!

All profit from this event will go towards new acquisitions for The Australiana Fund Collection.

This event has ended.
