Mona and Cadbury Factory visit

Yesterday we enjoyed a fun day visiting Mona, the award-winning and very controversial Museum of Old and New Art, then lunch at The Source Restaurant @ Mona’s Moorilla Estate, finishing off with sweets at the Cadbury Factory just down the road.

The Museum of Old and New Art (MONA), is an art museum located within the Moorilla winery on the Berriedale Peninsula in Hobart. It is the largest privately funded museum in Australia.   The museum presents antiquities, modern and contemporary art from the David Walsh collection. The art must be viewed with an open mind !!

Just 15 minutes from Hobart’s CBD, overlooking the tranquil River Derwent, The Source Restaurant is at Moorilla, Tasmania’s 2nd oldest vineyard. We enjoyed a selection of tantalizing French and Modern Australian dishes prepared with local produce from small producers. The river & winery views are simply spectacular and the wine list reflects a passion for not only Moorilla wine, but quality International drops. The frequently changing menu is delicious !!! Mal enjoyed Tasmanian Wagyu Beef, while I had local Confit of Trout,  all served with beautifully prepared vegies…. yummy !

Finishing our day at the Cadbury Factory, and as Cadbury is a brand with a long history in Australia and a passionate commitment to making everyone feel happy, it succeeded. Delicious and warming hot chocolate and a doggy bag to take home, we were definitely contented and happy.

    1. It actually makes human poo, and you can see it in action including all the wonderful odours at around 2pm each day. We decided on lunch in the restaurant instead.
