Food Scene
This place is the bomb for incredible wood fired pizzas!! So good, it rivals the likes of what you'd eat in Italy. Really great vibe too. Best place to head for an after ride beer / cider. There's also a fire pit out the back which has a great atmosphere as the sun goes down.

Good little cafe and smoothie bar, 2 doors down from Vertigo bike hire store. Nice place to chill on the beanbags when the sun is shining.

This place has a menu similar to a posh pub. All the classics and a few outliers. It’s nice without being an incredible gastronomic experience ;) Breakfast, lunch, dinner and lounge bar.

The best pub in Derby. (Yes there’s actually 2 in this very tiny town). Good pub menu and happy hour 5-6pm. Great social ‘aprés ride’ vibe

Need a break from riding? Prefer just to eat cheese and ice-cream? This place has you covered. FREE CHEESE TASTINGS!! But actually they're not free, because you are going to love what you taste and end up buying all the cheese. Also, a beautiful little cafe with an outdoor area that looks onto the stunning rolling green hills dotted with dairy cows.

The closest supermarket. It is on the expensive side, but it's great for that one forgotten ingredient or two. Open until 6pm, 7 days.

From its deep river gorges and waterfalls to its dolerite capped plateau; from dry eucalypt forest and colourful heathlands to pockets of rainforest, Douglas-Apsley National Park is a place of surprising contrasts. This park is one of the few that conserve the diverse wealth of dry sclerophyll forest plants found on the east coast of Tasmania. The crystal clear waters that run through the park are a welcome sight on a hot summer's day. Whether you want a quick picnic by a tranquil stream, a rugged walk through forest and gorge, or a place to study rare plants and animals, Douglas-Apsley can provide it for you.
Ok... I did rip that straight from Parks website. But honestly, it's all that!

Ridonculously beautiful coast line. The drive from Derby to Binalong Bay and then continuing on to Freycinet / Coles Bay is superb. World class beaches all to yourself everywhere you look.
