In February of 1985, a small team with the Lucerne Family – sent from YWAM Canberra, ACT pioneered the base in Hobart. For the first few months the base operated out of a caravan in the local caravan park until a suitable flat in the city was found. Almost every night they would walk the streets and reach out to local young streetwise people by providing a city café within a bus, called ‘The Ark’.

In 1988 YWAM Tasmania received the property where we are still located today: 200 acres of farmland situated on a ridge overlooking the township of Sorell and the sea. Originally there were three farmhouses on the property. Today there are four with extensions for more accommodation and an additional buildings.

Hobart is a treasure, deep in the southlands of Australia; absolutely unique in history, beauty and possibilities. In the south part of the island of Tasmania, it’s a city growing with the eyes in the future and the feet firmly set on its traditions, an encounter of the past and the future in an unique time in history! A great time to come and set a mark in this place, being part of the generation that will shape the future of this amazing city and state. Do you have a heart to pioneer and own a place as you become a Kingdom ambassador? In Tasmania you will have the opportunity to reach city and country, young and old, and to help release a generation that will brings its gifts to the nations of the world. It’s your opportunity to write history!
