Heritage Trail Revelations
Two hours from Hobart by road but so many intriguing places to visit along the way. The heritage trail running between the two cities held great appeal so GPS punched with destination we headed off. Fascinating, distraction was the GPS that came with our Thrifty rental. It was to provide a source of both amusement and entertainment as we travelled the Ápple Isle.' The technology had not been updated so the sweet voice of the GPS was regularly advising us that she was recalculating. The word recalculating was persistently mispronounced as were most of the street names that she, the GPS, endeavoured to identify. However, despite our GPS's idiosyncrasy's we settled to the rhythm of the highway and found the village of Oatlands. Its historical features most apparent even from a distance. The old mill towered above all of the dwellings of the village inviting travellers to leave the highway and reveal its setting. Indeed we did. Several original buildings remain standing. Worth the break in the journey.
