This overhead shot gives an idea of how dry it is! #food #foodie #foodpics #foodstagram #instafood #instagood #chef #restaurant #sydney #sydneyeats #australia

Unfortunately I've only had the time to spend one night at the spectacular @peppershotels Silo in Launceston, but I give it the highest recommendation if you are planning a trip down this way. The restaurant @grainofthesilos is exceptional and worth a visit on its own, but put the two together and it's a very special experience! #food #foodie #foodpics #foodstagram #instafood #instagood #chef #restaurant #launceston #tasmania #tasmaniaeats #australia
