I grew up in Tasmania. The Apple Isle.
It was also the island Cadbury’s chose to build their first overseas factory in the early 1920s.
At one time Hobart was the jam capital of Australia.
And Wrest Point Hotel Casino was the first legal casino in Australia.
Tasmania – an island of apples and chocolate, jam and roulette.
