Decided to go for a drive up the East side of the Tamar, taking all the roads off the main road to explore, really beautiful area.
Looking over towards Rosevears Accommodation where we were two days ago.
This is in Windermere, St Matthias Anglican Church, very old graves.
Looking up river from the church jetty across from Rosevear’s.
Hillwood Park for Lunch.
This is from the farmlands without being zoomed in.
Batman Bridge from a distance coming through farm lands.
I decided to make some Lemon Spread from the tree that’s loaded of sweet lemons. After lunch decided to do a walk around the Launceston Marina, its so beautiful, lighting was not great but it didn’t matter.

Packed the Thermos and picnic bag and headed up to the very top of the Tamar, calling into all the little bays along the way, just beautiful. Its been awhile since we’ve been out since our start of the house sit as I came down with a virus so sat that out. Love walking the dogs and checking where everything is in our area, feeling like the local, love it.

Green Beach the very tip of the Tamar looking out to sea.I love the patterns in sand
Daffodils growing everywhere on sides of the road and in paddocks, reminds me of NZ as we have the same thing in places.
On the drive home the last magic hour for lighting
Heading off to fill in a gap of 4 nights before starting our first house sit in Invermay, we popped over and introduced ourselves as we had only spoken on phone, lovely people and lovely pets so lucky.

Weather not looking to good, but we did get a break so thought we’d go and see the Tamar Wetlands in Launceston. So close to the city it’s incredible. Get a good view of the hills that are built on.
Looking down onto Sea Port
Tamar wetlands and looking over towards the built up area of Launceston
Information centre at the wetlands, also very good view out onto the wetlands.
Very hilly place Launceston, town seems to be down in the valley and houses all up around on the hills, very beautiful place.

Went for a drive to Beaconsfield today, Sean had the day off so showed us around. Lovely drive up the west side of the Tamar River. Took us to his work to pick up Katie.

Bad lighting but the water turns this wheel.
These white lines indicate the tunnels under ground, the deepest tunnel is 1.5 km down if I remember that correctly.
