Enjoy the work of Tassie’s talented storytelling duo. Tasmaniology

The Tasmanian Tuxedo is a storytelling partnership celebrating Tasmanian place and culture.

Local writer Amanda Mackinnon and photographer Joe Chelkowski uncover life at the bottom of the world. Their extraordinary stories not only explore our rugged mountain ranges, ancient forests and pristine beaches, they introduce you the vibrant community of adventurous souls that call Tasmania home. Renowned for their quiet determination, Tasmanians have an extraordinary spirit that is defined by warmth, creativity and innovation.
Stories to inspire

The boutique print journal, Tasmaniology, showcase some of Amanda and Joe’s favourite Tassie tales. Nestled within its 152 pages you’ll find a special collection of Tasmanian tales told through story, verse and image. Tasmaniology is a spectacular, limited edition - only 1000 copies of each volume available. Each one has been carefully hand numbered and is ready to be treasured.
Each VanMania campervan rental comes with its own copy of Tasmaniology, so you can kick back and immerse yourself in Tassie tales as your VanMania experience unfolds.
