Hobart to Launceston via the Midland Highway and Ross

We drove up the Midland Highway yesterday from Hobart in the South to Launceston in the North.  At Granton we crossed the Derwent river and passed over the interesting bridge depicted below.

This is apparently the busiest highway in Tasmania however it was not abnormal to pass no vehicles for several kilometres.IMG_3755

Along the way there are a number of steel cut-outs that make the drive a little more interesting. IMG_3739_cropIMG_3744_crop 

We then went through the well-preserved town of Ross and had Devonshire Tea at the bakery after visiting their stone bridge.IMG_3749
