Hillwood / Dilston

I have been having fun working in the Hillwood / Dilston area these last three weeks.  I thought I should take some photos as it's such a picturesque place.

A quick trip to Campbell Town on Friday.

We had a quick trip to Campbell Town for the morning to set up some sorting racks at the Post Office.  It was a cold frosty start to the morning, but as the sun rose it was a lovely sunny day.

Lovely sunrise on the way to Campbell Town.

Welcome to Campell Town.

There are several churches in Campbell Town.  

This one and the one below are on the Main Road.

The Town Hall on the Main Street.

The Antique Shop on the Main Street.

The Not so - Disappearing House at Conara.  

This lovely house earned the name of Disappearing House due to the 

illusion of it sinking into the ground as you approached it along the 

highway from Hobart to Launceston.  On the old highway the house 

would vanish from sight only to reappear as you travelled closer.  

The new highway has changed the angle of the approach 

and it no longer vanishes.

More scenery on the way back from Campbell Town.

We usually stop at the Confessional for coffee on the way back to Launceston.

They have such yummy food too.

Sorry some of the photos are a bit blurry, this happens
