Waterhouse Conservation Area

Leaving Old Macs Farm the and heading north east we were hoping the weather would be kind. It was still cold and windy but the rain was holding off. A very picturesque drive through the mountains and valleys to Lilydale and then we stumbled on the Pipers Brook Vinyard with the Jansz Wine Room. Jansz has been our preferred special occasion bubbly since our first trip to Tasmania so it was a bit sad that it was too early to go wine tasting. Lovely to see the vines though. Travelled through Bridport which is a lovely little seaside town on the north coast before continuing on to the Waterhouse Conservation Area. We had heard that there was a camp at Ranson's Beach that was awesome but when we arrived the two sites were both taken. First time we haven't been able to basically take our pick. We drove around a bit to find another spot before bumping into some locals who pointed us to a camp called Mathers Camp a little up the road. Well, we really lucked out! Took a bit of wrangling to get the van in but it turned out beautifully. If you haven't seen the video it is at;

A couple of lovely days here and while it was still cold we were out of the wind and could have a campfire. A special spot.Read more
