Wynyard in Tasmania is a quite small town, it's very clean and friendly as many small towns are.
We have taken the caravan there a few times to a caravan park where the lawns are immaculate. The owner has great pride in his lawns, it's a pleasure to stop there right next to the beach.
Wynyard had an urban population of 5,061and a total greater population of 5,990
The largest employer in the town is the dairy processing plant, owned by the New Zealand company Fonterra.
Have selected a few photos of the view from the Caravan Park.
Looking both ways.
That's the back of our caravan looking from, looking towards.
The walkway towards the East and the lower photo the view from the walkway.

Flowers at the park.
A Seagull came to visit looking for something to eat.
Such a gorgeous place and lovely views!
ReplyDeleteA sweet town with a beach.
DeleteHello Margaret,
ReplyDeleteWhat a great view along the coast. Wonderful.
Many greetings,
Marco
It's a long coast, not all sand and beach though, some of it is rather ruggered.
DeleteI once experienced a gull sweep down and rip a sandwich out of my hand.
ReplyDeleteMy goodness a very game bird. Left you hungry I suppose.
DeleteSo pretty and serene.
ReplyDelete:)
Deletewow fantastic olACE TO RELAX
ReplyDeleteSure is.
DeleteVery peaceful. Appreciate you sharing.
ReplyDeleteWas peaceful with no one about.
DeleteImpressive caravan park and surroundings.
ReplyDeleteI don't know the name of that dark purple like flower
in the photo above that "food snatching machine" - the seagull,
but I am sure I have seen similar flowers in PNG and I have
successfully grown them in pots in my bathroom. They seemed
to have thrived on the hot steam, yet ABOVE they are growing
in Tasmania which can hardly claim to be tropical - ha ha!
They certainly are rather identical????
Cheers
Colin
Oh - the bathroom growing of these plants was here in BRISBANE.
DeleteColin
That flower is a Limonium, Statice, there are about 120 flower species.
DeleteSome seagulls are very cheeky.
The reddish brown plant is a succulent. Perhaps you meant that one :)
DeleteYep I meant the reddish brown wax like plant.
DeleteI don't think the purple Limonium Statice would grow
in a bathroom pot. It would look a bit silly, ha ha eh?
Cheers
Colin
The reddish brown succulent is called Aeonium, I see it has a green centre so it's probably the "short black" variety. One with a pink centre is "black rose". I have some of these in my garden.
DeleteThanks "R" - I think you are from Adelaide (???) so I suggest you trying growing one in your bathroom - they thrive on the hot steam of the shower.
DeleteCheers
Colin
Margaret, when would you say are the best months to visit Tasmania?
ReplyDeleteJanuary to end of March. If you wish to see the Yacht's arrive in the Sydney to Hobart race, just before Christmas arrival to Hobart.
DeleteNothing like our Wynyard, in Sydney, masses of people noise and confusion, I like yours much better.
ReplyDeleteMerle................
It's very quiet in our Wynyard :)
DeleteLooks like a lovely park
ReplyDeleteIt's small Jo-Anne but has most things you need.
DeleteIt's a perfect place for a caravan park with views like that!
ReplyDeleteThere are so many caravan parks that do have the best view!
DeleteWhat a great place to park and enjoy the surrounding beauty.
ReplyDeleteSure is a beautiful place.
DeleteBeautiful scenery, I'd love it there
ReplyDeleteIt was peaceful both times we stayed there.
DeleteIt sure is a pretty place. Is that where the tulips grow?
ReplyDeleteYes Diane, on top of that hill which is called, Table Cape.
DeleteLovely views!
ReplyDeleteIt is a nice place to be by the sea.
DeleteLooks very lovely scenes.
ReplyDeleteRather pretty there.
Deleteusually seems to be the only thing on their mind is food
ReplyDeleteAlways looking for a morsel to eat.
DeleteIn addition of that wonderful garden, the proximity of the sea is a great incentive.
ReplyDeleteKisses
Always best to park by the sea if possible, and so many caravan parks are next to the sea.
DeleteLooks a very lovely place, and thank you for putting the map in your post too, I find it so helpful when reading and visualising.
ReplyDeleteAll the best Jan
You are welcome.
DeleteBeautiful caravan park... and so close to the sea.
ReplyDeleteNot many steps and you are there.
DeleteAnother beautiful area....and wonderful photos. Thank you. :)
ReplyDeleteThank you.
DeleteI am not sure you bring along bicycles, that would be great I think cycling in that walkway, although maybe it was only meant for walking. Cheers for sharing.
ReplyDeletePeople cycle along that walkway for klms/miles as it's flat.
DeleteWe have bicycles an will take them down there next time we go, hopefully.
I have always regretted that I didn't visit Tasmania when I spent time in Australia in 1999. Whether I will ever get a chance to return is doubtful....but who knows?
ReplyDeleteYes, indeed, who knows - you may. Good to dream though.
