Tasmania is an island state in Australia. The lavender farm here is called Bridestowe lavender field, located about 50 km from Lauceston city, northeast of Tasmania. Surprisingly beautiful lavender fields in Tasmania - Australia The history of Bridestowe lavender field began when Mr. C.K Denny - a famous British perfume maker and his family moved to Lilydale, Tasmania - a place about 17 km from the current flower field. As a perfume manufacturer, Mr. Denny had long cherished the plan to turn this place into a flower field like in the French Alps and they set out to do it. The name of the flower field is Bridestowe after Mrs. Denny's hometown in England. Mr. and Mrs. Denny's flower fields have soil and conditions similar to those in France. At that time, the lavender oil and perfume manufacturing industry was developing, demand was extremely high while raw materials were limited. In 1924, after successfully harvesting and distilling the first batch of lavender oil, Mr. Denny sent samples to London for testing. The results show that the quality of lavender essential oil in Tasmania is not inferior to the quality of essential oil in France. His family continued farming and in 1947 expanded lavender cultivation on a large scale. In 1989, when Mr. Denny retired and the lavender field was sold to the Ravens family with a commitment to maintain the product and quality of lavender as under the Denny family's management. Therefore, up to now, Bridestowe lavender field has existed for more than 90 years. Coming to Tasmania, there are not only giant lavender fields but also other interesting places such as: The Hartz Mountains national park with incredible alpine moors; Tasman Peninsula - witness of the colonial period of Australian history or Ben Lomond and Mount Mawson national parks.
