Waratah - Tasmania

We leave Port Sorell behind and head to Waratah, another long drive (lol) nearly 2 hours. We set up camp by the lake for 2 nights. We visit The wood cutters display on at the church, the museum, the water wheel, the old bridge, the valley, the old post office, Waratah waterfall & the Bischoff hotel. The weather has changed at present, it is very cold & wet. Still we have had a glorious weather all summer, so cannot complain.
On December 4th 1871, James 'Philosopher' Smith discovered Mount Bischoff tin deposit, later to become the richest tin mine in the world at the time.
