Spring Bay Mill is surrounded by some of the cleanest air lutruwita/Tasmania has to offer with water views that stretch from the portside town of trayapana/Triabunna to wukaluwikiwayna/Maria Island National Park. Previously the world’s largest wood chip mill, the site purveys a transcendent stillness that is truly unmatched.

Garden-to-plate goodness, modern facilities, award-winning accommodation and an intricate landscape yield a backdrop like no other for weddings: intimate or spectacular.

From the wood chip mill workers who earned a living here for four decades before us to now, we’re passionate about caring for the unceded land of the paredarerme people, the original gatherers and caretakers of Freestone Point.

The Triabunna Wood Chip Mill was built in the 1970s. In its heyday, the mill exported up to 600,000 tons of wood chips per year. This meant around 100,000 healthy trees from ancient old growth forests in southern Tasmania were clear-felled every year.

Philanthropist, Graeme Wood purchased the Mill in 2011 with the intent of putting a stop to old-growth logging in southern Tasmania once and for all. The ongoing carbon sequestration of those saved forests has been a major contributor to the carbon-negative position that Tasmania can now rightfully boast.

The decision to create an events venue, by up-cycling the industrial infrastructure into state-of-the-art indoor and outdoor spaces, was made with the intention of returning the site to a place where people can gather again. And to demonstrate that through regenerating landscapes, we regenerate ourselves.
