Meet a delightfully quirky Tasmanian music festival

Evandale is a small town in Tasmania that is a tourism drawcard year round.

This picturesque destination is home to famous events including The Glover Prize and The National Penny Farthing Championship.

It also hosts hugely popular markets held each Sunday morning.

Evandale is just down the road from Launceston Airport and is just a 15-minute drive from downtown Launceston, the second-biggest city in Tasmania.

There ae village greens, parks, many well-maintained Georgian houses, two local pubs and the heritage St Andrews Church, a Uniting Church, with its classic bell tower and Doric columns,

There are antiques and arts and crafts stores. When you are thirsty head to the Royal Oak, dating back to 1840, or the Clarendon Arms (also home to the Broad Arrow Wines) cellar door), with a history back to 1847.

Last weekend, Evandale hosted the Verandah Festival, a two-day music event where folky and quirky acts perform at a half dozen different verandahs dotted around town.
