The Moorings at Lady Franklin

-

The Moorings at Lady Franklin is a welcoming pub located in Franklin, approximately 45km south of Hobart.

The Moorings serves traditional and hearty pub meals that are good value for money.

All of the usual suspects can be found on the menu - steaks, burgers, beer battered fish, salt and pepper calamari, crumbed scallops or prawns, seafood chowder, a variety of beef and chicken schnitzels and parmigianas and more!

There are also a number of vegan dishes available, as well as lighter meal options including salads, wraps and soup.

Most of the meals are served with either fries or sidewinders and/or salad. For those of you who don't know what sidewinders are, they are the lovechild of curly fries and wedges - thick, curly, seasoned potato-ey goodness that is crispy on the outside and pillowy soft on this inside.

The Moorings helpfully categorises the menu based on the size of the meal with headings such as 'entrees', 'hungry', 'starving' and 'half serves'. The schnitzels and parmigianas are appropriately placed under the 'starving' category. They are massive and thick but still really succulent. They're some of the best schnitzels and parmigianas we've eaten.

Under the category of 'hungry' is the Franklin beef burger which is an impressive tower of beef, caramelised onion, bacon, lettuce, tomato, oozing cheese, battered onion rings, relish and aioli in a hamburger bun and served with lots of fries.

The beer battered fish and crumbed prawn dishes are both really tasty - the crispy, golden outer shell of the seafood is delightfully crunchy, while inside the shell, the fish and prawns are still plump.

The steaks are juicy and tender. They use good quality beef and cook them to your liking. Every time we have dined at The Moorings, the steaks have been perfectly cooked to medium-rare.

If you happen to have room for dessert, there are some simple, yet nostalgic sweet dishes to finish off your meal, including banana split, sticky date pudding, hot fudge sundae and chocolate brownie.

  Drift Away Organic Shack is a peaceful retreat for two located in Police Point, approximately 73km south of Hobart. Ideal for a couple, this cute studio has stunning views of the Huon River. The shack is located on the owner's residential property, but as the main house is set well behind the shack, the house and its inhabitants go unnoticed. The idea with this shack is to relax - read a book, drink in the view, cook a meal on the outdoor fire pit or enjoy a relaxing bath in the...........drumroll.............outdoor tub. Or, of course, do all of the above! The bushland setting offers privacy and the local birdlife creates a gorgeous natural soundtrack. The shack itself has a double bed, small kitchenette with mini fridge, shower, couch, an outdoor setting for the deck, an outdoor setting near the fire pit and an outdoor bath. Jemma, the friendly and welcoming owner, provides freshly laid eggs from the resident hens, milk, tea, coffee, a selection of jams, vegemite, butter, a fre...

Crescent Bay, Mount Brown and Remarkable Cave

 Crescent Bay, Mount Brown and Remarkable Cave PUFF-O-METRE   THEN OVERVIEW This is a beautiful day walk that follows some rugged coast line, stunning views and ends at a gorgeous beach with huge dunes. It starts at a large carpark, but it needs to be as this area is a very popular location. The carpark has a lovely viewing platform for some of the coastal cliffs. It also has shelter and public toilets available. Before setting off towards Crescent Bay, it's worth the ten minute delay to head down the staircase to enjoy the view at the Remarkable Cave. It's a bit like a horizontal blowhole however it's far more open therefore you don't get the big burst of water upwards. With that done, it's time to head along the other track towards Crescent Bay. This track is a bit up and down however the elevation doesn't change more than 20m so at no stage does it feel overwhelming. The track is even wide/smooth enough to be able to take off-road prams to the beach. Along th...
