Hi all,
While we were travelling around Tasmania several of our fellow travellers would ask in worried tones if we had driven on the Queenstown 99 bends and the Tasman Highway from St Helens to Scottsdale. Well, as you know we'd managed the 99 bends so now it was the Tasman Highway.
It was beautiful, the weather was bleak and rainy with a lot of cloud cover so we couldn't see any views but with all the foliage damp and hugging the road it was like our own world.
The road was very bendy, but Theodora takes hills slow so it wasn't scary at all.
This fish painting was just before Derby where we stopped overnight. Cleverly done eh?
The camp site was next to the river on the main street of Derby. It is a quaint little town with a tin mining history. We visited the old school which has been converted to a Museum, really interesting.
Heading on the next day we stopped at Ledgerwood where the stumps of the old trees have been carved into sculptures as a war memorial.
The old railway station had been converted into a BBQ picnic area. Unfortunately the bus was running a bit late.
Phew.. thought I'd missed it.
The Bridstowe Lavender Farm at Nabowla had finished flowering but the rows of plants were still impressive.
One more Blog then we're home.
Bye for now
Michelle and Ellen.
