Stayed near Hobart the capital city of the Island then off to a picnic and back up the east coast of Tasmania calling into Orford a fishing port, then further up the road to the Devils Kitchen, a winery with an award winning architecturally designed building.
There is a restaurant and a lookout including the cellar door.
The view from the lookout towards Freycinet National Park.
The Restaurant and Cellar Door
Almost certainly I will return to Australia, but I doubt it will include a return visit to Tasmania unfortunately. I am always torn between returning to somewhere I really enjoyed and visiting somewhere new.
ReplyDeleteThat's the way it is and a long way to travel. It's always pleasing to find a place we haven't been when traveling Australia, hard to find a new place for several years now.
DeleteBonitas panoramicas! Que tranquilidad que se respira.
ReplyDeleteUn abrazo y buena semana, Margaret.
Lovely views with many open spaces.
DeleteI really love travelling with you. Many thanks.
ReplyDeleteYou are welcome. Always wonderful to see what's on the other side of the fence :)
Deleteoh! so beautiful.. I love the vast open space.
ReplyDeleteOh good, we have plenty of open spaces in Tasmania..
DeleteIt's a great view from the lookout. I can see how much dryer the east coast is than inland.
ReplyDeleteOnce the lookout was at the top of the hill on side of road which was a bit dangerous. Always drier on the east coast unfortunately for them.
DeleteTassie is such a lovely state
ReplyDeleteCan't disagree with you on that Jo-Anne.
DeleteQuite an attractive setting. The countryside looks OK to me and luckily
ReplyDeleteit appears that Tassie has plenty of large lakes for water irrigation.

We do have lakes for hydro power and irrigation, however the east coast is always drier, grass browner than the remainder of the island.
DeleteThe mountains in the distance have almost a feminine form...
ReplyDeleteDo they Bill. Wonder what you see I can't! :)
DeleteGreat photos! You are making me think more about a trip to Tassie, just got to get my husband to agree which probably won't be too difficult. We are going north again for this winter but may go to Tasmania in autumn or spring next year.
ReplyDeleteI'm sure you both will love Tasmania when you get here..we are going north too!
DeleteThis is one of those names that makes me go, huh, why'd they name it that?
ReplyDeleteI suppose it's called after the Tasmanian Devil.
DeleteTiene una buena vista el mirador, para divisar ese bello paisaje.
ReplyDeleteBesos
Wonderful view from there..
DeleteGreat photographs here, my favourite is the second one.
ReplyDeleteAll the best Jan
