A couple more views of North Eastern Tasmania, this time the main road from the coast to Launceston.
Plenty of historic "blink and you'd miss 'em" towns, set in rolling countryside, some edged with hedgerows and stands of oaks. Lots of homesick English immigrants in the C19th tried to turn their new home into their old.
Unfortunately, a few of the things they brought over aren't so great. Occasionally you pass bunny rabbit road kill, and I think I saw scotch broom here and there.
This road is narrow and often steep, but it's a possibility for bike riding, as the traffic volume is pretty manageable. Once you get away from the beautiful, and correspondingly popular, beaches, things spread out a bit.
This is the pub in Weldborough. It offers accomodation as well as food and, of course, beer.
