Railton and Sheffield

We went for a day trip while staying at Lake Barrington, to a small town by the name of Railton. This town is like many of the towns in Tassie..they pick a theme and become known for it. Railton is Topiary. These figures stand by the memorial...quite eerie.

Could not resist the elephant and baby...
The gardens have a mass of different examples of Topiary...eagles, wombats, fishermen...

Then on to Sheffield...known for its Murals. This corner store has a story all about the original G.J.Coles...

.....if you blow this one up (click on it twice) you can read the story.

Then a fascinating Marble Store...what all young kids like....
...and adults to. Some of this stuff was amazing and pictures don't really give the full effect.



On the way back to Turtle we stopped at a small winery....wine okay tree incredible...nick named the Goblin Tree.
