This was my fifth visit to Ratho Farm in recent years and hopefully not my last. Each time I have stayed 3 nights and enjoyed the delightful accommodation in various cottages, each fitted with the most comfortable beds and modern bathroom facilities. I am a history buff and love spending time in Bothwell to revisit places where my convict ancestor lived and worked in the mid 19th century. I love meeting other guests for pre-dinner drinks and nibbles around the fire in the lounge of the old homestead before dinner is served in the large conservatory dining room. The highlight for me, and those family members who have joined me each occasion, has been the readings from the Clyde Company journals covering the experiences of the first settlers who established Ratho Farm in 1822. Many thanks to Greg, Michael, Jo and Geoff for making me so welcome and ensuring Bothwell remains on the must-visit list for all students of Tasmanian history
