Bereft of vineyards a couple of years ago, Forcett in south-east Tasmania, will soon have more than 200 hectares of wine grapes in the ground.

Hampered by a lack of land

"Back when we started at the Coal Valley there were only a couple of vineyards of around one hectare and you wouldn't see Tasmanian wines on the menu at Salamanca restaurants," Ms Christian said. "At the Coal Valley Winery we were hampered by the lack of land, and we've been lucky enough to find this new site at Penna which will allow us to have an eight-hectare vineyard."

And like the Forcett vineyard, the pair for the first time have planted some shiraz vines at Penna and expect the variety will go well.

Suburban residents furious to be offered NBN via satellite which is normally reserved for regional areasFormer Powderfinger guitarist Ian Haug says the satellite internet connection he has been offered by the NBN is not sufficient for his recording studio. He is one of many Samford residents fighting for better NBN. NBN is crap. My NBN is only 3 years old and the latest technology in a brand new development, and its crap. It’s actually slower than copper fibre, and I have the node at my side fence. All of this for $83PM from iiNet. I live 40km outside Melbourne. We were offered NBN satellite even tho the wireless boundary stops 200m away from our village of 70 houses. After 2 years of lobbying we got on wireless. Turns out we receive it after all. Satellite is meant for remote regions not 10km from town. And as a NBN satellite user we are already plagued by congestion and atmospherics. The new fancy 'NBN Sky Muster' is beyond its limit now.
