OATLANDS
The Midlands - The Heritage
Highway
|
An hours drive north of Hobart is the historical and
interesting town of Oatlands. Another town like Richmond and Evandale,
Oatlands has a wealth of old colonial building adorning its streets.
Oatlands is the unofficial "border" between the north and south of Tasmania.
If you have time it is well worth the stop.

Callington Mill was
restored a few years ago and is producing flower again. Tours of the
mill are available. |

Callington Mill dominates the Oatlands skyline. An
old flour mill. A
climb to the top 'floor' provides panoramic views of the town including Lake
Dulverton, a good spot for a picnic.

Another 'landmark' (or landmarks) near Oatlands are the 30
hedge sculptures by the highway' We found the sculptor trimming the hedges
the day we went past.
A sample of the buildings found in the town.
