Tasmania trip (Day 2 Story 3) Table Cape Light House, Wynyard

The light house tour started at 1pm (or 2pm, I can't remember :p It has been more than half a year ago, wow). It took around 1 hour plus to complete the tour. Some of the story and information can be found from the website http://www.tablecapelight.com.au/.










If you have been to Muka Head Light House at Penang National Park, the light house outlooks are similar, however, the internal structure e.g. stair case, structure looks quite different. Well, hope you can pay a visit here one day, and listen to the story of it :)

Tasmania trip (Day 2 Story 2) More tulips...

I am still excited to share more picture taken in Table Cape Tulip Farm :) More picture in my facebook public album.

Not all field is accessible by tourist, only the display field, to prevent human bringing bug or etc which will impact the bulb. I stayed until 5pm, the time they closed. Oh yea, I spend my whole day there. The owner originally would like to close at 4pm+, however, after seeing our excitement, they decided to close at 5pm Thank you, again :)

What is the best time to visit Table Cape Tulip Farm? Late Sep till mid Oct, I am just on the right time ;)














The tulip farm view from the light house :) Not all field is used for planting. Some are leave vacant for few years to maintain soil quality, to produce quality bulbs :)



We saw people came here just to buy tulip. Anyway, order can be place through Van Diemen Quality Bulbs, 363 Table Cape Road, Wynyard, Tasmania 7325.
