"Callington Mill in Old Mill Lane at Oatlands, built in 1836 by John Vincent, and driven by both steam and wind. It produced 20/30 bushells of flour per hour. John Vincent had arrived in Hobart Town with his wife and seven children in 1823."
We catch our scheduled flight home, pick up the car from a long term under cover car park, and arrive back at our apartment safely. All in all, a welcome and interesting break, much learned about our early settlement in Tasmania, and a great visit to the wilderness area on the West Coast, a green and quite wonderful environment, safe for posterity as a Heritage site. A number of photographs taken with our new digital camera during our Tassie stay are included here.
