Mt Roland dominates the North West coastal sky line. It is often snow capped in winter with mist and fog clinging to the rugged peaks of dolerite and the valleys below to create a photographer’s paradise. Lush, fertile farms form a quilted patchwork of agricultural colours from the peaks above. Lake Barrington is a man-made Hydro Tasmania lake in North West Tasmania’s Forth Valley. It was formed in 1969 with the construction of the 84 metre high Devils Gate Dam on the Forth River. The Lake is 45 minutes drive south of Devonport (40 kilometres). The Lake is best known for its 2,000 metre, eight-lane international-standard rowing course, used for rowing, canoeing and water skiing competitions.
