Tasmania Day 5 - The Honey Farm, Raspberry Farm, Swansea

Image
We are heading from Mole Creek to Swansea today, stopping over at The Honey Farm and Raspberry Farm. The Honey Farm is located in Chudleigh. It is a nice little shop with honeys, honey ice cream, and other honey-made products. There are great range of honey tastings around the shop, information on honeybees, and a glass viewing of beehive. Tempted to buy a lot there but was worried about my luggage space. Ended up buying some apple honey, pistachio honey nougat, and honey lollies. Such a cute shop, really love it. http://www.melitahoneyfarm.com.au/ We then headed off to Raspberry Farm in Elizabethtown. Forgot to take photo of the actual raspberries but they sell fresh and frozen raspberries, raspberry products such as jams, and raspberry foods and drinks. I didn't try anything there but I should have. I heard the foods are really good. It is on my list to visit for next time. http://www.raspberryfarmcafe.com/home_cafe.html We then drove to Swansea.

Going into Walls of Jerusalem National Park, the road was very rough and rocky which prevented our little car from going any faster than 10km/hour. We didn't get to the car park until around 11-11:30am and today was meant to be a tough long walk. We just have to see how far we go and cut the trip shorter. The walk began with a long and continuous climb without much to see until we reached a nice section with flowers along the track. Kept walking along the track and we got to a beautiful lake, Solomon's Jewels, where we sat and had our lunch. The park takes its name from the geological features of the park which are thought to resemble the walls of the city of Jerusalem. As a result many places and features within the park also
