The World's Largest Lavender Farm


On the north coast of Tasmania, not far from Scottsdale, nestled between Launceston and the Bass Strait, we found a field of serenity. At Bridestowe Estate they grow lavender. This is even the world's largest privately owned farm dedicated to this plant native to southern France. Once you have parked your vehicle, stop by the shop and cafe. Allow yourself a cup of lavender tea or milkshake: sweet! Visit the distillery where the different oils are produced. But mostly go for a walk in the fields of lavender. It is almost winter in Tasmania. The flowers were harvested before Christmas, but it is still beautiful. If you can, visit just before the harvest. We can just imagine the colors and scents!
