Rosebery

Next town along the way west is Rosebery, being Sunday not a lot happening in town
 
 
Rosebery was named after British Prime minister at the time, Rosebery has been a mining town for over a century & it is the active zinz mine that defines its character today
Zinc lead ore was discovered in 1893, since when mining has made an enormous contribution to Tasmania's economy


Close to town Stitt falls


Rosebery's copper, gold, lead, zinc & silver mines have been the most productive of any on the west coast, with an estimated yield of $8 billion


Found the heated pool & went for a swim
