Topiary

Railton is the name of the town and is about 20km from Devonport here in Tasmania, Australia.  These topiary's in my opinion need a bit of tender loving care and some I didn't bother to take photos of at all because they had totally lost their shape.  Hope someone attends to them in our springtime. 
Railton is a small country town with a few shops and lots of farmland in the area.

A view of Lake Dulverton, Oatlands.

All the photos are taken at Lake Dulverton in Oatlands and this was our view from the caravan and also when we sat outside. Some of the photos are zoomed in all the way without a tripod.

Amazing, the day we left Lake Dulverton Margaret Attwood the author of The Handmaid's Tale a TV Series, and of course other books, Margaret popped out of a car as we drove off.  Margaret had been in the Hobart area for a few days attending some convention for authors.


Coot and below two plovers.

St. Peters Pass, Tasmania

St. Peters Pass on the Midland Highway is about halfway to Hobart and a good place for a rest as their are loos there.
Once St. Peters Pass was notorious for gay men meetings back in the 80's and 90's, but I don't think it is now, well not that we have seen.
On our March trip we stopped for a well earned rest and had a walk about.
The topiaries are taking shape and the last one is a Tasmanian Devil.

Railton Topiary, Tasmania, Australia.

My husband and I went for a drive the day after the grandchildren went home (the two girls) and we were gone for 8 hours.  Headed to the North West Coast and ended up inland traveling through many small towns, one such town was Railton, town of Topiary.  Having been through Railton several times had no idea all this topiary was around as I expect I kept my eyes on the road when driving through on my own.
Railton and surrounding area is mostly farming. Railton itself has about 900 people.


The elephant with the Christmas decorations still attached. The main street.


This jockey and horse was attached to a house.


Train in the main street.


The War Memorial with 3 soldiers in the main street.


The numbers of someones' house long time before Railton.

There is a small paddock with lots of topiary including a Tasmania Devil which I haven't shown.
