The Tamar valley from Brady's Lookout. A view over the river towards Windermere.

The hill above Rosevears is called Brady's Lookout after a bushranger called Matthew Brady who would scan the road below for victims and swoop down and rob them. There is a large cave here with its own water supply - an ideal hiding place. Apparently he was very polite, a cultured and educated man and he would never rob a lady or harm his victims. He actually shot his accomplice when he molested a lady (only in the hand)! It didn't do him any good though as he was betrayed by an accomplice and captured by John Batman and hanged in Hobart in 1826. Apparently he received gifts and letters from ladies whilst he was in jail. The views from Brady's lookout are quite spectacular.
