You are warmly invited to attend Weindorfer Day in Wilmot on Sunday 4 May 2025, commencing 9:30am
This is a delightful festival that celebrates the beauty of our Tasmanian Wilderness, the land, water, spirit and people of Cradle Mountain and the legacy of Gustav and Kate Weindorfer in the little country town of Wilmot, in the Valley of Views, north-west Tasmania.
Entry by donation.
See the attached flyer. It’s a day free of politics, (the day after the federal election!).
You can get a good coffee from Bombshell coffee as soon as you arrive, then attend the opening Commemorative Service for Gustav and Kate commencing promptly at 10:00am
You can view the winning entries of the Weindorfer Festival of Short Films and see who won the Weindorfer Award for 2025. This will soon become an iconic Event for Tasmania.
You might book your place on the popular historic guided bus tour from Wilmot to Waldheim. Escorted by cheerful Parks Rangers and historians, you experience a brief Memorial Service at the cairn of Gustav and Kate, a Turning of the Fagus Walk through the myrtle beech forest, a guided tour of Gustav’s and Kate’s accommodation chalet, now re-built, and a gorgeous afternoon tea at the Day Hut provided by Wilmot folk.
While in Wilmot you could play games from yesteryear like hopscotch, marbles, quoits, knuckles, watch the blacksmith at work, view stunning art works by children and local Tasmanian artists, engage with indigenous learnings, walk around vintage cars, examine photos and artifacts from Gustav and Kate’s families and enjoy the live music of jazz vocalist Lee Brient in the park. A food van and a barbecue lunch provide food on site.
