banalasta and blickling estate visitor centre

We called in re the organic eucalyptus and lavender oil; and bought a bottle of wine on the spur of the moment. The lady staffing the centre was lovely and informative as were the wall posters that told us about this operation. Unfortunately, the eucalyptus and lavender had just been harvested so there was little to see in that regard, but the visit was well worth while. Word of warning, however. Whatever you do on leaving the premises DO NOT turn right but return via your left to the highway. Turning right takes you for many many kilometres of poorly sign-posted not-so-bad but narrow dirt roads that have you wondering whether to turn back or continue on and hope you emerge at Urella; which we did. And certainly DON'T turn right if you have a caravan (fortunately we had left ours at Paradise Tourist Park, Tamworth).
