The Bridestowe Estate Lavender Farm is THE place to visit in Tasmania during December and January. This is the time when the beautiful flowers bloom. Don't be disappointed if you miss them-they may have been harvested, or you may be too early. But make the effort to come anyway, and you will be rewarded. Located in a postcard setting, with mountains rising up in the distance from fertile farming land and thick green forest. The Souvenier Shop is very special, being filled with a huge number of products using lavender, plus all the basic touristy essentials. Take a peak at the inside of the operation on a guided tour. |
