Tasmania road trip 2017 - 4 - To Oatlands

I didn't take a huge amount of photos on my journey from Strahan to Oatlands to visit the Callington Mill.

What struck me as interesting throughout my time in Tasmania, but especially for my drive from Strahan to Oatlands is the speed limit. Which from Strahan through Queenstown and out the other side was 100 km/h.

If these roads were in my home state of Victoria they would be 80 km/h maximum.
I didn't do much more than 80 along these twisty roads, because it had been raining and because I was driving a large four door 4x4.
I knew to set my own limit, it was nice, knowing I could go faster but I restrained myself, knowing I should do a safe speed that was appropriate for the conditions instead of having that set for my by the government.

Driving out of Queenstown I was heading for Bronte Park and then through the central highlands. It was something of an awkward, though also quite direct way to get to Oatlands from Strahan / Queenstown, and though some exceptionally pretty and remote landscape. The central highlands are probably my favourite part of Tasmania.
