We had an evening flight to Melbourne and enjoyed a few last stops along a drive through the highlands to the airport. These included a roadside rest stop walk to look at pencil pines (an ancient tree related to sequoias) and colonial era buildings in two towns. One of the towns, Outlands, has a church by the same architect who designed the British Houses of Parliament. This town is also the location of a colonial era windmill. Still in use to grind flour, it is the only working windmill in the Southern Hemisphere. There is a contemporary scotch whiskey distillery and restaurant on the grounds around the windmill. Ray tried some of the single malts at lunchtime. Convict era Commissary House.
