xenithOn the long weekend just been, we went up to Deviot because there were a bunch of open gardens and a little market.
Deviot is a little town on the edge of the Tamar, just below the Batman Bridge.
The first thing we noticed was a lot of houses for sale, almost every second one when we first entered. You'd think someone was going to build a pulp mill in the area or something.
There are a lot of older, turn of the 20th century houses,
and some representatives of each decades some. As far as I know, it's only been a resort town. For many residents of Tasmania, especially the female ones, its probably best known for this place. There's a bit of farming, a bit of fishing, and in recent years, a lot of vineyards.
Don't know what these are. I assume Pinot Noir, that's the common dark grape in the area, but it was only a small planting, so it might be something else.
It was only a small market, just a handful of stalls, but a nice selection of goods.
We left there about lunch time, and went through Gravelly Beach, to Exeter and then further up the West Tamar to Beaconsfield and Beauty Point.
