Photographing wild places needs a mix of physical toughness, extraordinary skill and emotional sensitivity. See the captivating results in The Wilderness Gallery, Tasmania's unique purpose-built showcase for environmental photography. These beautiful and dramatic images from photographers based in Australia and around the world will excite your imagination, lift your spirits and expand your horizon.

Situated within the grounds of the Cradle Mountain Chateau, the gallery shows up to 250 images at any time in 10 linked galleries, with additional space on the walls of the conference centre and the travelling exhibition gallery. The exhibition space is built around an enclosed garden of local rocks and native plants. The gallery area includes two small theatrettes to show film, video and computer images.

The Wilderness Gallery exhibits the work of well-known photographers who specialise in the field of nature and landscape photography. The capturing of images from some of these remote places requires photographers whose skills include surviving in difficult, even alien environments. They are expert scuba divers, rock climbers, kayakers, bushwalkers and expeditioners.

The gallery is open daily from 10am until 5pm, and is free to visit if you stay at the Chateau.

Hotel guests will enjoy access to a specialist library of books for sale and periodicals dealing with photography, Tasmanian literature and the environment.

The Gallery space is also available for meetings and conferences – see our Conferences section for more information.
