CATCH OF THE DAY

Anyone can book a table at a harbourside restaurant, but how about going off-grid for a long lunch? Located in the midst of Bass Strait, Flinders Island is a raw, untouched slice of Tasmanian wilderness that’s a short hop from Melbourne, Hobart or Launceston, if you have the wings. The catch and cook experience offers a plane transfer, which lands on a private airstrip where guests get to work catching the freshest crayfish straight from the sea. After another scenic flight over the island, stump up for lunch at The Flinders Wharf and eat whatever you’ve caught, prepared by chef Cate Hardman. You’ll be home in time for dinner.

Price: $3625 per couple. theflinderswharf.com.au
