After a couple of busy days, we decided to take it a little easier today.

Our first coffee morning stop was the nearby town of Evandale, famed for its unspoilt Victorian architecture, along with a laid back village feel.

Evandale’s claim to fame is being the hosts for the penny farthing championships. The last one was held in mid-Feb and attracts competitors from across Oz and the world!

Whilst enjoying our brunch at the local cafe, we came across a large group of road cyclists from Melbourne doing a charity ride across the country. Andy got quite ‘nostalgic’ and reminisced of the rides he did with mates back in Oxford.

After a wander around the town we moved on to another quaint town (Uk version of a village) called Longford. Again it feels reminiscent of a Victorian neighbourhood, with many of the houses dating back to the 1850’s.

We also visited a grand Georgian styled Manor House in Clarendon, which reminded us of the mansions in the Deep South of America. In both cases they were built with slave labour, with the Tassie convict workers being forced to toil only for their board and lodgings.

After all that history and culture, we made our way to the Josef Chromy Winery for some much needed cellar door action!

Such was the level of the establishment some guests arrived by helicopter.

Like previous cellar door visits, the winery had a top notch selection of wines, restaurant and not forgetting the awesome views.

On a near perfect day weather wise we relaxed in the sunshine. No guesses who was drinking and who was driving!

After partaking in a sparking, two whites and a rose, Andy managed to pick himself up and we had a wander around the Estate.

We would definitely recommend a visit to this winery, given the friendly service, great location and wonderful wine and food on offer.

Sadly tomorrow is our last full day in Tassie and we will be making our way back to Hobart to drop off the camper. We then have a nights stay at the airport hotel before flying back to Sydney and then a longer flight on to the island of Bali.
