I hang out my washing over the fresh smell of the apple mint which is a foot high and growing across the length of the double-sized shed. Intense yellow, pink and white roses with velvet petals are in full bloom and the purple Lavender is sprinkled around the garden keeping the bees busy.
I notice a lone horse on the hill looking majestic against the silhouette of the snow-tipped mountains. I look forward to the Sunday market and amble along the flat streets admiring the cute cottage houses and country-style gardens.
Evandale, Tasmania is located only 10 minutes from Launceston Airport and direct flights operate from major cities in Australia. A National trust classified Georgian Village that is filled with unspoiled heritage buildings.
