Such a wonderful surprise when we were passing through Deloraine this week we felt intrigued about the Artworks in Silk. We found them at the Visitor Information Centre and what an amazing treat it was - to be seated in a very comfortable theatre and have them explained to us first, then we could go down and look at the intricate workmanship up close! The story of how many workers in silk came together to create these exquisite panels was inspiring. Then, on the encouragement of Cara and Vicky, we went out to see the Museum of heritage buildings, machinery, homes and every day life of our early settlers. It was an excellent display and so 'full of life', one that all Tasmanian and Australian children should visit at some time for they will come away with a deeper understanding of times past. Our thanks go to the warmly welcoming (and knowledgable) twosome Cara and Vicky!

The Folk Museum was opened as the Family & Commercial Inn in 1863. Today it reflects the life of the country publican and his family. Also housed in extensive gardens is the Pioneer Walk, where you can view reproduction and reclaimed heritage buildings showcasing the lives, tools and farming equipment of early settlers.

We hadn't booked accommodation in Deloraine before we arrived so headed for the Visitor Centre. The staff were very helpful - there was not much available as we needed to include the Friday night of the long weekend but the staff produced helpful suggestions and we found somewhere which they then booked for us. Couldn't have been easier. The staff also recommended things to do during our stay with advice about distance etc.

I wandered into this enchanting store when I was looking for a bank... the items are so whimsical and beguiling ... it is a store you can lose yourself in exploring it's wares. I am not sure what I was expecting when I wandered in initially but I know it surpassed anything that I was thinking. Everything about the store is interesting... including it's owner. She was the perfect shopkeeper... willing to share a story... humble about some of her art on the walls of the business... helpful... dare I say she was graceful. The items on sale in the store are incredible... she does stock all things 'brush'... I was surprised what you can purchase brushes for. And while they fascinated me, I only left with a local relish ( she assures me it's the best she has ever had) and a handful of her amazing range of greeting cards.
