The
Giant Freshwater Lobster (Astacopsis gouldi),is the largest freshwater crustacean
in the world and is unique to northern Tasmania. Living in tannin coloured waters
in secret gurgling hideaways, this endangered species is usually shadowed from
the public eye.
The
Lobster Ponds and Cafe offers you a unique experience to meet these
extraordinary creatures in their natural habitat where native gardens and viewing
rooms play host to these enormous wonders. Wander quietly along the garden trails
and stop to seek out these well camouflaged shy creatures as they blend into the
brown waters on the floor of the ponds.Situated
in Flowerdale, minutes from Wynyard, the Lobster Ponds experience is made even
richer by its licensed cafe. The cafe offers scrumptious pancakes by combining
local ingredients with real cooking, served with views of the surrounding countryside
valleys.
Located
in the quit farmlands, the Lobster Ponds invites you to see these secrete Tasmanian
crustaceans and to sample local produce surrounded by the refreshing Tasmanian
country side.
