TASSIE TEMPTERS

It’s the dot in the ocean that has bred both devils and a Danish princess, seen shipwrecks and the saving of forests. It’s green and clean, and one of the world’s last outposts of fresh air and pristine food.

Some people say Tasmania is like England and to be honest I had never seen it that way. So much of it is the bushland and scrub and pastures that I have grown up with on ‘the mainland’, as Taswegians call the rest of Australia.

 But a recent trip to the north of this island-state gave me another perspective. 

This article continues with details of food producers and wineries in the north and  north-west of this island-state and  includes information on accommodation, dining and things to do and see.

Just a few days in a small part of this wonderful state, and now it was time for us to leave. For just a moment I wished Tasmania was closer so that I could drop in and stock up with goodies for the weekend whenever I had friends coming. But then I realised that was not the point.

A trip to this lovely place has to require effort. And it is certainly worth it.
