The trip from Bruny to Longford was our longest drive so far - nearly 260Km. That's what's so good about Tassie - there is a good amount to see within a short distance and a tank of fuel can last weeks.
In the Midlands we passed through several early to mid 1800s historic towns, including Oatlands, Ross and Campbell Town, with beautiful stone buildings, little church cemeteries and many other architectural artefacts from Tasmania's convict era.

The area we are staying, just south of Launceston, also has several lovely old English style villages, including Evandale, Perth and of course Longford where we are based for a few days or so.
Our stay at Longford included several day trips, the first to Launceston for more family history research and shopping (again!). Next day to Deloraine where we checked out numerous op shops then took a coffee/lunch break. Later that day the satnav took us a roundabout way to Liffey Falls up in the hills. Lucky we have a 4WD!

Next day trip was to the ski fields in the Ben Lomond Range via Jacobs Ladder. The views, both from the bottom and the top, were spectacular but the temperature at the top was 10 degrees with a cool wind blowing.
