MacQ is Back!
01-Nov-2011 | 3-7 December 2011 - Macquarie Van Diemen’s Land 1811 Celebrations Along the Heritage Highway.
In 1811 Governor Lachlan Macquarie and his wife Elizabeth made their exploratory expedition through Tasmania. The journey they took and the decisions they made have had a huge impact on shaping the structure and direction that has taken Van Diemen's Land to where it is today.
