The farm consists of 120 acres (48 hectares) of rolling fields of lavender and is considered one of Tasmania's most spectacular sights.
Low Head Penguin Tours

Blackman's Lagoon
is surrounded by coastal heath, marram grass and some pasture, Blackman's Lagoon is typical of other lakes in the Waterhouse dunes area. Fly fishing is best from late September to December, usually at first light before dawn and late in the evening.
Lilydale Falls Reserve
is a popular picnic area and a pleasant place to stop if journeying to Launceston. Amongst the trees are two oaks that were grown from acorns from Great Windsor Park and planted on Coronation Day, May 12th, 1937. The two sets of falls, one above the other, are a short and pleasant walk through rainforest.
Mt William National Park
From its long, lonely beaches to its teeming wildlife; from its unique history to its abundant plant life, Mt William National Park is a place of constant fascination. Nestled in the far north-east corner of the State, the park is an important area for the conservation of Tasmania's coastal heathlands plants.
The Pipers Brook
area is approximately 20 minutes drive from Bridport. While it is the largest producing wine area in Tasmania, it is also arguably the coolest major district.
