What's it all about?

41° South Tasmania is a unique tourist attraction near Launceston and Devonport. A 45 minute drive from Launceston brings you to our salmon farm, ginseng nursery and wetlands near Deloraine. They offer free tastings and a small café is located at the farm where light lunches are available

The farm was carved out of of willow and gorse infested scrub in 1998 . Ponds were built and wetlands were created.

The salmon farm is an inland fish farm raring salmon in the cold and pristine fresh water sourced from the Montana Falls.

There are twenty fresh-water ponds which at any one time house around 10,000 Tasmanian Atlantic Salmon in various stages of grow-out. The smallest are 10 cm in length and the salmon are generally harvested at a length of about 45 cm. The technical variety of the salmon farmed are salmo salar .

All salmon grown in Tasmania are born in fresh water and then usually farmed in the ocean. The salmon is unique to Tasmania in that the population of the fish we farm are restricted to fresh water through their life.

Another unique aspect to the salmon farm is that, the water that feeds the fish farm and carries organic waste products from the growing fish, is reticulated from the ponds and through various levels and stages of native wetlands. The wetlands act as a 100% natural filter removing all the organic waste, feeding the native flora and returning pristine water back into the Western Creek Rivulet, the very creek that creates the Montana Falls and is the source of farm’s water.

41° South Tasmania is arguably the most environmentally friendly inland salmon farm in Australia.

At 41° South Tasmania we also grow and develop products for both Korean and American ginseng.
