As academics they have been working on the records of the 18th century exploration and the first contact with the aboriginal people; as well, as helping with the conservation of historical sites particularly at Recherche Bay. They chose Tinderbox because of the abundant wildlife, nature, stunning views overlooking the Derwent River and being less than 30 minutes from Hobart. The space Skyefall is nestled at the top of a hill next to the Tinderbox Reserve with its undisturbed conservation area of old-growth trees.
