Looking at art used to be boring. It still is, maybe, but at least here at Mona, the Museum of Old and New Art, you can get drunk and/or rage against the machine. Located just up the river from Hobart (Tasmania's southern capital), Mona's subterranean architecture showcases the highlights (and lowlights) of David Walsh’s $110m private collection of art and antiquities, as well as hosting a busy exhibitions program. Mona is also home to the Moorilla winery, The Source Restaurant, Faro, bars, cafe, accommodation pavilions and more (plus Moo Brew, an off site brewery). We also host two festivals. Each January, our summer festival, Mona Foma, unleashes an eclectic mix of music and art. Come June, our Dark Mofo winter festival delves into centuries-old winter solstice rituals and celebrates the dark through art, music, food, film, light and noise.

Welcome to Australia Zoo - Home of the Crocodile Hunter! A team of passionate conservationists work tirelessly to deliver an animal experience like no other. Cuddle a koala, hand-feed a kangaroo, walk with a Sumatran tiger and watch a crocodile strike from the water’s edge – but that’s just the beginning! Australia Zoo is the ultimate wildlife adventure, delivering conservation through exciting education. Starting out as a small family business, the expansion of Australia Zoo has seen the Irwin family employing hundreds of energetic people with a variety of skills. With thousands of visitors from all over the world passing through the gates daily, all team members understand the importance of making a lasting impression to our patrons. Australia Zoo employees love animals and conservation, have an exceptional attitude towards work and of course, wear the world famous khaki uniforms with pride! You just have to walk around the Zoo to feel the electricity in the air. The atmosphere creates an exciting experience for all visitors and a dream workplace environment for all employees.
