We set off this morning to view the lavender at Bridestowe Lavender Farm at Nabowla, Tasmania, Australia. Bought a little Teddy Bear, the larger bears are just under AUD 50.00, and I found some on eBay selling for AUD 350.00, why I don't know. Apparently these larger bears have wheat inside of them and can be put in the microwave then used for medicinal requirements.
The Chinese have gone crazy over these bears which are not that large when all said and done, but they are made in Tasmania, where as the little ones are made in China :)
There is a gift shop, selling lavender products, and of course a small restaurant which we didn't attend today.
Plenty of bees!
Your pictures of the field landscape are amazing. I would also like to see this.

Thanks Filip and Kristel. It is lovely to see in reality, and of course the light on the day of taking the photos makes a difference.
DeleteTasmania has much to offer for locals and tourists alike.
isn't that a sight to behold? i've seen pics of these fields before and they are so picturesque. beautiful photos as usual Margaret. you have a talent there. i bet they look fantastic in person.
ReplyDeleteSure is F. Lovely place to visit, and I think you can go there for a good part of the year.
DeleteThanks re photos :) In reality the colours are lovely, many people go amongst the lavender and squat down to have their photo taken, and everyone has a good camera, only a few have a little one.
The sight of the lavender reminds me that I must trim mine so that they are ready for next season. I love lavender, and nothing is better than seeing it en masse.
ReplyDeleteIt's lovely..and there fields of it, I only showed a small area..
DeleteThe lavender is just beautiful!! I love the smell of it too! I would love to visit there!
