Farmland

Continuing the drive through the Gunns Plains area in North Western Tasmania in April, 2022
A typical old farm house with the trees acting as wind breaks.

      Funny you should say that, so many people settled there from Ireland, Scotland and England way back - and I've heard people say the countryside in parts looks a bit like Ireland but then we can also say any part of Tasmania looks like some other are in this world.

    Thank you Margaret for introducing me to the Tasmanian Plain. Place that I only knew about the "Tasmanian devil" and you have led me to investigate the subject.
    This is how I found out that these demons were voracious carnivorous marsupials that lived on the mainland of Australia 3,000 years ago and that attempts are currently being made to reproduce them in the wild.
    Greetings from 11,000 km and 33 hours of flight... lol!

      Hello Norma - the Tasmanian Devil a pest in it's day but not so much so now...yes, that is such a long way 11,000km. I remember we or my husband drove 6,500km from up north in the tropics at that time we were pressed for time to get on the boat to across the sea to home here in Tasmania.

    Love that farmhouse. I am sure that back in the day there were chooks and fruit trees round the back.

    I wonder if there is a connection between Gunns Plains and the timber company with the same name. It's a very handsome house in the first photo.

      I would say not Andrew. Gunns Timber-The company was placed into liquidation in March 2013. Gunns Plains -The town was named after botanist Ronald Campbell Gunn, who discovered the valley in 1860.

      A lot of older type houses are similar, which is good as the veranda comes in handy on hot summer evenings.

    The vineyard sits in a nicely protected space. Since climate change we now have many vineyards here which are proving to be very successful.

    Farmhouses here are often first noted by the trees forming a windbreak in the middle of fields of corn or grain,

      Farmhouses need wind breaks as some places as in your land do get very windy out in the open.

    It is very gratifying to see these photos, they illustrate distant lands and unknown to us, also a green and fertile season, now here the ochre predominates, all dry and hot.
    Best regards

      Seems to always green in the area of the photos as it's hilly with many trees and does rain a fair bit. Keep cool over your way.

    This is beautiful country landscape in Tassie! I love to tour around the island. Only fear is the speed limit traps all around the place.

      Thank you.. Don't think there are too many speed traps over here, just do the correct speed limit and it's ok, same as any other State or Territory in Australia. :)
