WELDBOROUGH - THRIVING POPULATION: 250 CATTLE, 50 SHEEP, 30 PEOPLE

ST COLUMBIA FALLS
SATURDAY 17.3.2012: Had lunch at the pub then made our way to St Columbia Falls - 10 minutes further up the same road! Claimed to be the highest falls in Tasmania with a drop of 90 metres. 
 










Having completed our exercise, we continued on our "Pub Crawl". It was a l-o-n-g drive, but after 19klms we called it a day and pulled into the Weldborough Historic Hotel. For $10.00 you stay at the rear of the pub and utilise their toilets and shower. This hotel is one of the oldest in northeast Tasmania - the hotel started trading in 1876, where it catered to a large and thriving tin mining community which included many Chinese workers.
