Breathe the purest air and drink the cleanest water in the world

As recorded by the air pollution station at Cape Grim, on Tasmania’s north-western tip, fresh air doesn’t get any cleaner than this. A lack of urbanization combined with fresh winds that sweep in from the Southern Ocean and Antarctica ensure Tasmania’s air is the least polluted in the world.

In fact, the air is so clean that the local region bottles and sells its air and water to regions that are heavily impacted by polluted air. However, recent recordings at the Peninsula’s scientific station have reported readings of increased greenhouse gas emissions from as far away as China – a movement of air pollution that is threatening this baseline air quality.

Amazingly, Australian Olympians have received rainwater from Tasmania since it is thought to be so pure. You'll be happy to learn that this purity is superbly utilized in the creation of mouthwateringly crisp and fresh wines and brews.
