DESTINATION: Bothwell

A lovely old town on the Clyde River, where Australia’s first herd of Aberdeen Angus cattle grazed and the first golf course was laid - 160 years later you can play a round on the same course and then take a look at golfing history in the Australasian Golf Museum.


Main Attractions

Walking round the town is to walk back in time - more than 50 colonial cottages, houses and official buildings (the town’s first library opened in 1837) cluster around the trees and grass of Queens Park. Go fishing, swimming or hang-gliding. Then see the studio that created the Tasmanian tartan, examine superb local crafts and have a homemade afternoon tea in a cosy tearoom.

Derwent Valley and the Central Highlands region of Tasmania, from Granton where the Bridgewater Bridge crosses the Derwent north of Hobart, explore the Lyell Highway as it follows the course of the river past poplars and willows, hopfields and orchards, towards Tasmania ’s mountains and wilderness. Beyond historic farming settlements of Hamilton and Ouse, the highway climbs into the highlands, crossing rivers where power stations harness the boundless energy of falling water. more
