An oast or oast house is an example of vernacular architecture, though English in origin, there were many in New Norfolk,Tasmania,once famous for hop growing, in earlier days. They are farm buildings used for drying hops in preparation for the brewing process. They consist of two or three storeys on which the hops were spread out to be dried by hot air from a wood or charcoal-fired kiln at the bottom. The drying floors were thin and perforated to permit the heat to pass through and it escaped through a cowl in the roof which turned with the wind. The freshly picked hops from the fields were raked in to dry and then raked out to cool before being bagged up and sent to the brewery. The Kentish dialect word Kell was sometimes used for kilns ("The oast has three kells.") and sometimes to mean the oast itself ("Take this lunchbox to your father, he's working in the kell.").

The Windeward Bound is a brigantine based in Hobart, Tasmania, Australia. It is commonly used for training youth (of any age) to sail, offering training and voyages that last from anywhere between an hour or two to many weeks. In 2002 - 2003 the ship and her crew embarked on a successful circumnavigation voyage around Australia to celebrate the 200th Anniversary of the first circumnavigation, charting and naming of the continent of Australia by Matthew Flinders. [1] During this voyage the crew docked into most Australian ports and coastal communities with the help of Coastcare to spread the message for individuals and organisations to become actively involved in on ground works to protect and manage coastal and marine environments. The ship was also able to connect with local schools and community groups by performing a play recounting the adventures had by Flinders in his circumnavigation through the Play "Roundabout" written by Les Winspear and performed by Theatre Alfresco.
