On-route to Gunns Plains Cave, we stopped off to look at Preston Falls. It is a short easy walk from the road.

We then drove on, passing through some lush looking farmland. We soon arrived at Gunns Plains Cave. The tours are on the hour, so we had time to check out the local dairy cows with their calves. Boy, were they noisy. There is also a memorial to Ronald Campbell Gunn, noted botanist and explorer of early Tasmania.

The cave is apparently the best and most accessible cave in Tasmania, but the tour is worth a visit just for the tour guide alone. He is quite a character and we were lucky to be the only ones in the tour.

Leaving Gunns Plains, we stopped to check out George Woodhouse Scenic Lookout on the way to Burnie. There is a plaque to ‘George Gordan Woodhouse (14/4/1913 - 11/6/1996) at rest at his beloved plains’.
