If you are travelling though Tasmania during the last week of February head up to Evandale, One of Tasmania's historic towns, just south of Launceston, home to the Evandale Village Fair with over 100 stalls showing of food crafts and entertainment from all over the state.

 

Another highlight is the National Penny Farthing Championships, crazy old school bikes with one huge wheel at the front and a small one at the back. Watch these seemingly fearless competitors fly though the streets on what seems like a near-suicidal race (a fall from one of these bikes is about 2m to the ground).

 

For those into history and old-timey stuff there are several antique galleries.
