The Whisky that started a revolution
In 1992, in a quiet Tasmanian household, a first single malt whisky was produced, with no
fanfare, or celebration. It was the first single malt spirit legally produced
in Australia for 154 years. In 1998, after nearly a decade of curiosity and
experimentation, Bill Lark released Lark Distillery's Single Malt Whisky
commercially. 30 years later, The Still, on Argyle St, a finalist in
2022's Best Bar awards, guides dram drinkers through tastings, whisky
appreciation evenings, and tours, and an extensive Tasmanian whisky collection
in a contemporary and stunningly beautiful venue, celebrating what began as an
idea so long ago.

A national conversation about the challenges we face
The AFR View 22/9/22
“Australia is better placed than many other
comparable nations. But Dr Chalmers needs to start a serious and genuinely
upfront national conversation about the challenges that Australian people must
confront.”
The government should take up this call for a national
conversation and "fully" engage the Australian people.
For too long now, our country has been slipping backwards on
many fronts, and we, “the people”, have not engaged sufficiently in addressing
many significant and often contentious issues.
The level of affordable government-funded
services and how we raise revenue to pay for these needs to be urgently addressed.
