When my sister asked me where we should visit in Australia, my response was immediate – Tasmania! This was some time back, and I am glad we made the trip as the island turned out to be what I expected and more.

We were met at Launceston Airport by our guide from Walkers Coaches, who drove us to Bridestowe Lavender Estate in Nabowla. What better way to start our trip than being greeted by curving rows of graceful lavender in purple and lilac hues stretching as far as the eye can see. Wanting a closer look at the flowers, we went near the rows but kept an eye out for bees. The estate also boasts a souvenir shop which sells all things purple – from Bobbie the teddy bear to lavender ice cream!
