Suffolk Sheep.

Suffolk Sheep down at Huonville, Tasmania.

Some of you made have heard of the Suffolk Sheep - these sheep were imported from England to Australia in the very early 1900's. The midland of Tasmania is well known for sheep particularly Merino sheep.

Our first full day at Huonville was a drive down along the Huon River the opposite way than we went the year before, however, we were on a road that took us a very long way round for a short cut and being late in the afternoon we decided to head back to the Caravan Park and not continue.

Ross, Tasmania

After Campbell Town we travelled to Ross, Tasmania on the same day.

Ross is a historic town in thee Midland of Tasmania and the Macquarie River flows through the town.
The bridge was built of sandstone by the convicts. Completed in 1836.  Ross has much history.
A small house is the 2nd photo and the Post Office which opened in 1832. 
We had lunch at Ross, Scallop Pie and Vanilla Slice - just so tasty.
