Launceston has been purchased

The quaint village of Westbury lies some 30kms west of Launceston in the Meander Valley region of Northern Tasmania. Established as a garrison village in the 1830's following a survey by the Van Diemens Land company in 1828, the troop was led by Lt Bell and billeted on the village green. Military pensioners were each granted a 5-acre (20,000 m2) block of land complete with a well and pear tree,so by the mid 1800s Westbury had become the largest military community in Tasmania. The first European settlers were predominantly Irish; ex Irish convicts, retired soldiers and free settlers, many fleeing the Great Irish Famine in the 1840’s. Gaelic was the local language in Westbury for many generations and a strong Irish brogue is reputed to have lasted throughout the 19th Century. The irish tradition lives on today in the form of the St Patricks Day celebrations. Considered to be the most English of all villages in Australia (ironic considering it's irish history), is certainly a place worthy of visiting and languidly experiencing. Yes, it has everything a cliched English village has. A village green, lots of tree-lined streets, old courtyards and stables, elegant old inns and so many charming houses the visitor could easily spend a day just wandering around the streets,or a stroll in the warm summer evenings gives a real sense of what it used to be like many decades ago. Westbury is really a feast of wonderful old buildings. It is lovely beyond belief. There are so many historic homes that the visitor seems to go on an endless voyage of discovery where around every corner there is a new and exciting building. There are so many superb buildings in the town that many of them haven't even made the National Trust. This is a town with a true excess of delights.

The Huon Valley is full of wonderful sights, sounds and tastes and an increasingly popular getaway destination. The world famous Tahune Airwalk, Hastings Caves and Thermal Springs are just a sample of what this region has to offer. Graduating through farmland, orchards, wineries and waterways, the Huon Trail is well worth an extended stay and a high point of any Tasmania experience. Situated in the township of Ranelagh, just outside of Huonville, is an idyllic property that steps back from the modern world most people know. Matildas of Ranelagh is a luxury Bed and Breakfast that welcomes you to enter another time and place.
