Tasmanian Trip – Day 3

I got up early at 6am this morning and went down the road to the Bakery and got some fresh dinner roll for breakfast. The motel do have coffee, tea, cookies, vegemite and jam included in the room, so we decided to have a simple breakfast before we hit the road. Today we decided to do the North East trail.

We headed south for Launceston and hit the A3 to take us North East. The traffic was heavy into the city. After yesterday long ride, the car was low in fuel and needed a refill. So we turn into a small town to top up the fuel tank. The initial plan was to drive north to George Town and then head east to St. Helen. After a quick look at the map, we decided to give George Town a miss due to time constraints and headed for Scottsdale and St. Helens instead.

Along this route we stop at Bridgestone Estate Lavender Farm in Nabowla, Scottsdale, turning into Legerwood, Ringarooma, St. Columbia Fall, Pyengana and then to St. Helens.

From St. Helens we headed home via south passing Scamander, St. Marys, Fingal, Conara and up north to Longford, Perth and Launceston. Again we reach back to the motel late in the night.

Like the day before driving in the night is dangerous with the wild animals darting across the road. It seems they love taking chances and playing “I dare you game”. After my first kill, I was very careful not to make notch to my kill list.
