The Tangle - Photogallery

The area is probably best known for orchards - yes good old Tassie apples and also cherries and pears etc. A few blueberry farms around too. Lots of kind of diverse things actually, like also weird types of mushrooms, and salmon farms, oh and alpacas for wool (as it's too wet for wool sheep).

Tassie apple orchards...they hold a near mythical status for me...I have always dreamed of biting into a crunchy apple picked fresh from a Tasmanian apple tree (I have even tried growing them here in this you-will-never-ever-grow-an-apple-tree climate but, even if I could do it, it wouldn't be the same!).

I should also mention that I have had an obsession with wanting to head down there for a spot of fly fishing ever since I saw 'The River Runs Through It' with Brad Pitt etc...other than Tasmania, I just can't picture any other part of Australia which would resemble the riverscape from that movie, and give justice to the art of fly fishing! My brother-in-law once said to me, "There are lots of places to go fly fishing, you know...it's not like you HAVE to go all the way down to Tasmania to do it". All I can say is that he just doesn't get it!!!

Here I go, off-topicing again !
