Tasmania through our eyes.

From Sheffield we moved onto Deloraine a great spot which had small statues place down the main street. We stayed in the caravan park for a couple of days, which was right by the river, which had platypus, ducks and geese playing around so was lovely to sit and watch them. We then moved onto a free parking area just down from the police station and stayed another 5 days. And would you believe it there where 6 other van from Western Australia there so the first night we all gathered for happy hour to chat and to hear all about place people had visit and where they were going. A good night was had by all.
While here we took off to explore the countryside.

Visiting Alum Gorge, a great walk into see the gorge. And by now we have slowly started to wear long pants and a jumper. As the weather is cooling. At Chudleigh we found a honey place with a variety of honeys, the one I loved was Aniseed and Bob went for the Leather wood. So after our purchases back to the van we went to make some toast and try out our honey, yummy.
We also visited King Solomon cave and Devils gullet, here it was so cold and windy that we just walked in had a quick look then out again. .Along the way we came across this old lady by the petrol station. We have found that the Tasmanian people have a great imagination, and we often see their artistic skills popping
up as we drive around.
And this house covered with a creeper. There is so much to see by just driving around. Also found a berry farm, so went in for lunch nice hot soup and raspberry crumble boy this was beautiful. Our next stop was at Longford a caravan park on the edge of a river, a good clean and tidy park. Woolmer heritage Farm we had a guided tour and alot of history belonging to this place. A trip in Evandale where they have a huge festival every year, the pennyfarthing races. A quaint little town. Between Longford & Evandale we came across our first lot of blackberries, we ate more than we picked they were so good and just the right time to pick them. So we had blackberries in the freezer for a short while.  Campbelltown was our next stop. So more next time. bye for now.
