Hi Alex,

Tasmania has the worlds largest commercial lavender oil, French
Lavender farm. Situated in the North East of our island state. The
best time to visit to see the full colour and the working distillery is
in late December through to mid Jan. The Bridestowe Estate has a web
site http://www.bridestowe.com.au/ with all the info. There are day
tours to the site run by a local company
http://www.tigerwilderness.com.au/

Tasmania has the perfect climate for this French vatiety which has been
established for 50 years or so.

Cheers

Lee
