The second stop of the trip is Bridestowe Lavender Estate. I've always had a romantic vision of a purple sea of lavender. A lady with the long hair dress in white, dancing in the field full of lavender with a straw hat. You could instantly smell the blooming fragrance of lavender field in that summer breeze.
With the vision in my mind, we've headed to this true French lavender farm. Bridestowe was one of the three large lavender farms in Tassie. This one has been around for, quite a while, in fact, it was established in 1921. I can see that it's quite up there. Things were kept as impeccable as possible. The staffs were very friendly. Merchandises were well designed, packaged and displayed. From oil, bath and Goat's milk soap, tea leaves, diffuser, skincare products, heat pack to salt and "flower water" - Are all made out of lavender.
Of course, the Tasmanian Icon - Bobbie the Teddy Lavender Bear. The owners stuff the plush toys with the excess dried lavender laying around, and now afterthought it has turned into the international smash the hit. ( Source :ABC News) A Chinese celebrity was seen with Bobbie the Bear on the social media cuddling the bear, attracted hundreds of thousand Chinese flocked to this lavender farm to buy the fluffy bear! What's more influential, was the Chinese president arrived in Tasmania was given the AUTHENTIC Bobbie the bear upon his arrival! The real joke is Bobbie the bear is a minor Chinese celebrity.
Despite the fact there was no full-blown lavender, we can see the neat rows of shrubs. Perhaps in the future, 
The Little Blue Lake
On our way to Hobart from Launceston, located in the northeast of Tasmania. There was originally a little mine hole, but now a little blue lake reflecting in a vivid turquoise color. This beautiful aqua blue little "pond" resembles a fraction of the BlueLagoon in Iceland. It's literally a-big-piece-of-hidden gem" on those windy roads.
熏衣草農莊
行程的第二站，我們這次來到南半球塔省三大熏衣草農場，柏德史托熏衣草农场。我從小對熏衣草農莊都有著浪漫的憧憬。四月底，我懷著紫色的夢來到了莊園，眼都傻了。除了一大片一大片整齊，乾枯了的坑子以外根本找不到紫色的蹤影。據莊園的員工獲知，也在此溫馨提醒大家，如果慕名來看熏衣草，最保險時間段為12到1月份。
各種熏衣草製成品一應俱全，應有盡有。熱枕，鹽巴，香水，香皂。熏衣草據說有鎮定，幫助睡眠，舒緩精神緊張等的效用。 當然少不了bobbie the bear 發紅發紫的熏衣草小熊。尋找海芋戀，雖然破碎了，但也可以想象出哪般如夢如幻的紫色美景。品嚐了薰衣草口味的冰激淋，還算是圓夢了。
小藍鹽湖
埋藏在寬廣綠野平原裡的一個岔彎路徑。陡峭而無護欄的白沙岩邊緣隱藏一個小藍鹽湖。反射著一種靛藍寶石般的神祕色澤，有種不可思議的瑰詭華麗。唉，真的美死了！
