You need to turn off the highway a few kilometres north of Swansea and then drive about a bit of a distance to this little gem of an oyster shop. The rustic ambiance, charming sales person and the fantastic fresh oysters were worth every minute of the drive to give us one of our best memories of Tasmania. Based on this experience, I think I have over-rated all my other reviews. The beautiful smile and pride in her work and product shown by the lady who served us (I should have noted her name) reflected the quality of the beautiful oysters, gathered from the leases outside the caravan shop in a glorious environment. Australia can’t do much better than this.

Come and discover our history about Beaconsfield and the Tamar Valley, explore the mine rescue display and discover for yourself a replica underground mining environment. Search for hidden animals and try panning for "museum" gold. Suitable for all ages, open 7 days.

Reviewed By LondonWelshboyo - Edgware, United Kingdom

What is so good about this place is that you can you touch and handle so much, from making the phones work to starting the waterwheel and powering the stamping machine. A great slice of local history. You can easily spend a couple of hours here and buying the triple pass with Platypus House and Seahorse world is good value and provides a full day out. Don't miss this.
