Clarendon House - Evendale, Tasmania (VLOG 2)
Clarendon House is a three-story Georgian home built in 1839. It belonged to James Cox and was constructed by convicts in Van Diemen's Land (Tasmania). James Cox was instrumental in the anti-transportation movement.
We love Tasmanian history, so this was a lot of fun.
Today, the house is maintained by the National Trust in Tasmania, and is open to the public for inspection.
Entry was $15 per adult. Children were free.

CLARENDON HOUSE, TASMANIA
‘Clarendon’ was built on the banks of the South Esk River and is one of the great Georgian Regency homes of Australia and is an outstanding colonial farm complex with a residence that was first established in 1817 by James Cox. In June 1812 he married Mary Connell in Parramatta New South Wales and moved to Tasmania in 1814, accepting a land grant of 700 acres and later adding another 6,000 acres to his estate which he called Clarendon after his father’s home and he took up residence there in 1816.
Mainly because of fear of bushrangers and Aborigines he moved to Launceston the next year, becoming a merchant and contractor for supplying meat to the government commissariat. The same year he became a magistrate, but by the late 1820s he resided again at ‘Clarendon’ where he ultimately began the construction of a large stone mansion, which was to replace his original timber dwelling and which was to cost him between £20,000 and £40,000.
The words above were borrowed from a blog by Geoff Ritchie regarding Tasmanian history at the following site:
Entry to Clarendon Estate includes the gardens; Clarendon Fashion Collection with precious gowns from the 1830’s to 1960’s; and the Norfolk Plains Heritage Centre, offering photo collections together with family history records and advice.
The Australian Fly Fishing Museum is now located in their new building in the grounds of Clarendon, with a vast collection of fly fishing paraphernalia the museum is well worth a visit.
The house is accessible by guided tour, the last tour of the day at 3:15pm allowing ample time to enjoy the property prior to the gate closure at 4pm. Twilight Tours are also available

Driving Australia - Moving house in Tasmania
Moving house from Kingston to Huonville Tasmania, July 2016. The relocation involved ten return trips using a Nissan Pulsar 1600cc towing a 6' x 4' caged trailer. Each trip required a haul over Vinces Saddle, the highest point on the Huon Highway, 376 metres (1233 ft) above sea level. The entire move took three days during which time we clocked up around 500 kms. This video was taken on one of the trips.
