Tasmania III - Scottsdale & Launceston

Scottsdale Eco Forest Center

Next day (25 Jan) I had my first stop in Scottsdale where I visited the very impressing “Eco Forest Center”. It is build to use as low energy as possible (just about 20% of a usual office building) … it’s more or less a house within another house with a computer controlled ventilation system. Next stop was Launceston, the second largest city in Tassie … and then, to do a bit more walking, the Tasman Island Wetland Reserve. There you can see all different kinds of birds, including pelicans!

On my way back to Bridport I stopped to at a PYO (pick your own) blueberry farm … I was told the minimum is 1kg and I have 40 mins to go … ok, even though I just wanted a handful of blueberries for my breakfast next day, I picked a little bit more than a kilo in 20 mins … they were really yummy but I had to eat (or give away) them within the next 2 days because I’m not allowed to bring any fresh fruits or veggies over to mainland Australia.

Was not a problem to eat’em all :)

Ok, ok, just gave some away as well ;)
