Art Tour - Art Travel - Tasmania-

We leave the East Coast and travel through Elephant Pass to the Fingal Valley

 

Day 7: Thursday 22 February 2007

We leave the East Coast and travel through Elephant Pass to the Fingal Valley then continue to the historic property of Woolmers where we take a tour of this beautiful homestead and learn about the unusual lifestyle of Thomas Archer. We have time to paint the magnificent rose garden or maybe the historic shearing shed or the many quaint cottages scattered around the property.

 

From here we travel to Launceston where we find our accommodation at "The Earlington"
in the heart of the City. (B)
