Evandale Posted August 14, 2017 Share Posted August 14, 2017 (edited) We live in Evandale a Georgian historical village with the most amazing architecture. Also know as the Penny Farthing Village where yearly competitions & local fairs take place. Discovered in the 1800's.https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Evandale,_Tasmania.. The home of John Glover artist...John Glover was the most important early 19th century landscape artist to work in Australia. In 1832, he settled at Mills Plains (Deddington, near Evandale) on a property that he called 'Patterdale'. A wonderful Sunday market comprising of clothing, plants. food and antiques. Strict building regulations are imposed so that the village remains in keeping ... We have a beautiful post office, an incredible pub or two The Clarendon Arms is truly based on British pubs, with candlelight and open fires... so thankfully no pokies or keno which we despise with a passion. A magnificent leather shop manufacturing on the premises... cafes... antique shops, newsagent, Drs surgery, school, small supermarket, a local butcher and a renowned bakery and restaurant. The airport but not on the flight path only 3 minutes away which is most handy! Views of Ben Lomond , farms and cows/ rolling green fields... but Launceston is just down the road. National trust homes i.e. https://www.nationaltrust.org.au/places/clarendon/ & https://think-tasmania.com/historic-houses/ Great friendly neighbours who enjoy the community spirit. It really is our little bit of oasis ! Ross, Richmond, Westbury are just a few European villages within Tasmania which are a must to visit. For visitors to our shores there is much to explore and to learn about the heritage and history.
