Blackwood Creek, Tasmania

Day visit to Blackwood Creek when restrictions were lifted on driving with in the State of Tasmania in June 2020.
The photos are phone ones.  
We started out for a short drive to Longford to buy some meat at the abattoir shop which we often do and ended up going further. 
Longford is a country town about 19 minutes drive from home.

 Blackwood Creek is a small community at the base of the Great WesternTiers in Tasmania.  There are only about 134 people living there.  It's a farming area with a creek running through it with great flat stones in some areas of the creek.  Years ago we got some of these rock/stones to go around the fish pond which we don't have now, we have a smaller one with no fish.

The Western Tiers are on the right of some of the photos.




We drove up a hill and intended to continue, we came to a dead end!

  2. That must have been a lovely experience to drive in lovely countryside after having been in lockdown. I know that I found that to be so when we first took a drive when lockdown was lifted.

    1. Sometimes you can't see any difference with phone photos, sometimes I can notice the difference.
      If those scenes look a bit like Africa maybe that's why we get many white people from South Africa living within our Island at times.

  12. It looks like a rugged and beautiful region of Tasmania. It would be a great pleasure to find a rural inn in such an area, staying for a few days and going out for rambles each morning, back for an afternoon nap, followed by another walk. i can dream!
