Property for sale | 'Calstock', 14746 Highland Lakes Road, Deloraine, Tasmania, Australia
Historic homestead, idyllic location, immense potential.
Situated amongst the gently rolling hills of the Meander Valley in northern Tasmania, “Calstock” is a superb example of early colonial Georgian architecture. The original house was built in 1831 but it was the Field family who bought the property in 1853 and considerably added to its grandeur, viability and prominence, breeding two Melbourne Cup winners during the latter part of the 19th Century amongst other successful agricultural pursuits over the ensuing one hundred years.
Today the property has lost none of its splendour with not only the main house being beautifully restored but also the numerous out-buildings and gardens. Set on approximately 12 hectares (30 acres), impressive front gates open onto a sweeping tree-lined driveway leading to and around the homestead. As the classic symmetry of the house with its wide sandstone verandah comes into view, there is an overwhelming sense of being transported into another era.

Historic town Richmond Hobart Tasmania Australia
Exploring one of Australia's most unique and historic towns-the bridge, the Gaol, convict built homes, small cottages, unique shops and restaurants.
Richmond - Tasmania
Richmond, Tasmania is a town about 25 km north-east of Hobart. Its most famous landmark is the Richmond Bridge, built in 1823, around the time of the town's first settlement. It is Australia's oldest bridge still in use. Present-day Richmond is best known as being preserved as it was at that time. It is a vibrant tourist town, with many of the sandstone structures still standing.

Richmond, Tasmania | Travel Vlog
We enjoyed our visit to Richmond, Tasmania, a very historic town about 20 kms northeast of Hobart.
Richmond is one of Tasmania's most popular destinations, steeped in history, family-friendly and a hub for food and wine lovers. Nestled in the heart of the Coal River Valley, Richmond was established as an important military staging post and convict station linking Hobart with Port Arthur. The village is famous for its elegant Georgian architecture, with beautiful heritage buildings dating back as early as the 1820's now housing galleries, tea shops, craft boutiques and museums.
Conveniently located just 20 minutes drive from the Hobart CBD and 15 minutes from Hobart airport, Richmond is an ideal base from which to explore Hobart and beyond to southern Tasmania, Freycinet and the East Coast, and the Tasmanian Midlands, including the food, wine and heritage of the beautiful Coal River Valley.

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.

The Greatest Escape Story Of Australian Colonial History
The greatest escape story of Australian colonial history by the son of Australia's best-loved storyteller - The Ship That Never Was.
This is the entertaining and rollicking story of what is surely the greatest escape in Australian colonial history.
James Porter, whose memoirs were the inspiration for Marcus Clarke's For the Term of his Natural Life, is an original Australian larrikin whose ingenuity, gift of the gab and refusal to buckle under authority make him an irresistible anti-hero who deserves a place in our history.
The Ship That Never Was is available on May 21:
The Tasmanian Magic Project
About The Tasmanian Magic Project
The Project has been established to find and record evidence of the material culture of magic in the State during the nineteenth century.
Magic left no contemporary documentary record but its role in the lives of Tasmanians is evident in the evil-averting (apotropaic) marks on their houses and other structures and in objects concealed in buildings.
Concealed objects including shoes and garments have been found in houses and other buildings in many locations throughout Tasmania.
Apotropaic marks have been found at Shene, Pontville, at Woodbury, Antill Ponds, at Redlands, Plenty, in the Courthouse at Richmond, at the former Rose and Crown Inn at Lewisham, at Dysart and Lonsdale at Kempton, and at Narynna, Battery Point, Hobart. Marks found to date include hexafoils, merels, a consecration cross, concentric circles and burn marks.
Numerous caches of concealed shoes and other objects have been found throughout Tasmania. The most notable discovery, that of 39 concealed shoes and a variety of other objects, occurred at Woodbury, north of Oatlands.
The use of magic appears to have been an aspect of cultural practices brought from England by settlers, convicts, the military, and members of the Colonial administration.
The fear of attacks by escaped convicts, bushrangers and Indigenous Australians may have played a part in the use of protective magic.
The Project’s survey of Tasmania is expected to produce results that will be applicable Australia-wide and of international significance. Several international scholars with expertise in this field have expressed their support for the Tasmanian Magic Project.
These include Professor Ronald Hutton of the University of Bristol and Professor Owen Davies of the University of Hertfordshire. The Project has the endorsement of the Government of Tasmania.
The Tasmanian Magic Project is the first of its kind in the world and will provide a template for similar surveys both in Australia and overseas.
The Project is open to participation and/or affiliation with University schools and departments. Places will be available for senior students in history, archaeology, architecture or anthropology. The Project is seeking funding to enable work to start as soon as possible.
The Project will be based near Oatlands in the Midlands and will carry out a survey of historic houses and associated outbuildings in areas between Hobart and Launceston.
Teams of researchers will visit houses by arrangement with their owners. Houses and outbuildings will be carefully examined and any identified magic marks will be photographed and recorded.
The Project needs funds to begin fieldwork in 2017. We are also looking for volunteer researchers with expertise in photography (and their own cameras) as well as people who can do measured drawings of buildings where marks have been identified.
