TAMAR VALLEY
NORTH EAST
Diversity abounds in the north east, apart
from the natural beauty and a continuation of
beautiful untouched beaches, there’s temperate
rainforests. At the northern end of the east coast
is the Mt William National Park with expansive
views of the Furneaux Islands.
Visit the Eddystone Point Lighthouse, the Bay
of Fires and Musselroe Wind Farm for starters.
Then from the east coast, head inland towards
Weldborough Pass. Along the way look out for
the turn off to the St Columba Falls which boasts
a spectacular 90 metre drop waterfall.
Taste the delicious award-winning cheese at the
Pyengana Dairy Company and visit the Pub in
the Paddock while you are there and meet a beer
swilling pig.
One of the biggest attractions in recent times in
Derby is mountain bike riding with the terrain
attracting some of the best riders in the world
along with locals and visiting enthusiasts.
The trails take in the beauty of rainforests
and encompasses some of the most stunning
landscapes in the state. Scottsdale is the major
town of the region with a rich agricultural and
forestry history.
The Bridestowe Lavender Estate is just a short
drive away and is at its most spectacular in
December and January when the rolling hills of
lavender are flowering. Then there’s Barnbougle,
most golfing enthusiasts will have heard about
Barnbougle Dunes – everyone deserves to play
a round of golf at Australia’s number one public
golf course situated in a breathtaking location
looking out over Bass Strait.
This is also one of the top wine producing parts
of the state linking with the famous Tamar
Valley. Try a Sparkling Tour which showcases the
region’s bubbles which can be sampled at the
cellar doors of Pipers Brook and Jansz.
