We turned off the Tasman highway to see St Columba Falls (one of the highest in Tasmania) and to visit Pyengana cheese. The walk to the falls is quite short, but the 600m back to the start is all uphill.
Our next stop was Bridestowe Lavender Farm for a lavender infused lunch. The lavender was close to being in full bloom and a visit in the next week or two would see great colour.
We had time to have a look see at Bridport before heading to Low Head - our base for touring the Tamar over the next 2 days.
I only drove about 250k today - but total driving time was close to 5 hours. The roads were all bitumen, but the up and downhill sections and tight bends slowed the motorhome down.
The walk down to St Columba Falls was filled with tree ferns, dappled light and moss covered trees and rocks:
I even managed to spot what I think was a Rose Robin:
This was one sign we didn't ignore:
The Pub in the Paddock can be found between Pyengana Cheese and St Columba Falls. It was too early in the day for us to stop - even to see a beer drinking pig.
Before rejoining the Tasman Highway, we stopped for coffee at the Holy Cow - the Pyengana Cheese cafe. Pyengana will let you taste their wonderful cheese and both PD and I left with our favourites.
We travelled through much lush and green dairy country:
Before arriving for a late lunch at Bridestowe Lavender:
