Sheffield

Tasmania where else in the world do you get some great motorbike roads and get your photo taken with a Lama ( not a monk from Tibet) and a giant teddy bear in one day.


What a brilliant day I had today, I slept in this morning and wasn't going to do anything as I was feeling very seedy. However after a hardy breakfast I felt better and decided to go for a ride. I rode out to Sheffield via some interesting bike roads and some great places with names like No Place Else and Paradise.

I met some interesting people such as the German Guy and his pet Lama ( sounds like the start of a Monty Python Sketch ) and I was looking through a shop window trying to take a photo of a giant Teddy Bear and the owner invited me in and took my photo.


The name of the shop is CRADLE MOUNTAIN CANDY COMPANY 44 Main Street Sheffield, and at the same address is BIG TED Honey Boutique, they make liqueur honeys on the premises using local honey so if you are going on a ride around Sheffield in Tasmania check out the shop the guys are very friendly and only to happy to chat and Jim Bean rum mixed with honey sounds great.

I was sitting in front of a shop when this fellow bike rider came over to chat and he gave me directions to get back to Devenport via Mole creek and Deloraine, what a great road and some great scenery as well. so I got to meet some interesting people ride some great roads and saw scenery that took my breath away.
