After devouring the giant steak at the RSL last night we departed Scottsdale on a chilly overcast morning heading for the east coast, but first more mountains and twisty roads. Stopped in at the Crank It Cafe in Derby, a cafe dedicated to the regional pursuit of mountain biking -lots of bikers in the cafe with their Giants not Harleys. Also at the cafe was a tin museum. There is a lot of tin mining all across Tasmania and the museum highlighted the impact the humble tin can made on the world when it was introduced in the early 1800's. Next stop was Pyengana Dairy Company and the Holy Cow Cafe. The adjacent dairy was superb and included a massage device for the cows once they were milked. The rotary brush was used to scratch ears and backs and the cows knew how to start the brush when stopped. Terrific!. A quick look around St Helens and Binalong Bay and the bay of fires, so name by early explorers seeing the fires of aboriginals along the coast. Moved on to lovely Scamander for our overnight stay. Weather not great.
