If you're looking for a great winter escape in August, why not book a trip on the Spirit of Tasmania. Drive off the ship in Devonport and head 10 minutes down the road to the great town of Latrobe, known for the Axeman's Hall of Fame and the Big Platypus. The weekend of the 10 and 11 August is all about chocolate. This is Latrobe's 16th Chocolate Winterfest and it is a mouth-watering chocolate event for every sweet tooth, young and old. Why not try a chocolate high tea or be amazed and inspired to wear chocolate art. The mind boggles! Attend a chocolate masterclass with master Belgian chocolatier Igor Van Gerwen, design your own Smarties mosaic, or pit yourself against other budding writers in the chocolate-inspired poetry competition. The list goes on. Congratulations to mayor Peter Freshney, Michelle Dutton and all the crew at the Latrobe Council, everybody at the House of Anders, all the sponsors who have gotten on board, and the great people of Latrobe, for your contribution to such a magnificent event.
