Huon Valley and Bruny Island Tasmania Map - Travel Directory - Click for more travel info.
The Huon Trail begins south of Hobart, then leads you through the Huon Valley, D'Entrecasteaux Channel and
Bruny Island - follow The Huon Trail guide map and look for its roadside signs with their stories of waterways
and wilderness; art, craft and heritage; apple blossom and vineyards; succulent salmon, salt-sweet oysters
and fragrant jams and preserves; farmers, foresters and fishermen.
One of the most memorable routes from Hobart to the Huon is on the coast road through Taroona,
where the world's oldest round shot tower stands. Further on, there are superb sea views of Storm Bay
and Bruny Island and beyond. On the shores of the Channel south of Kingston is the little port of Kettering.
Cruising yachts and fishing boats sit on their reflections in the sheltered harbour, and the busy Bruny
Island car ferry plies its trade across the water.
Make sure you don't miss Peppermint Bay. Indulge in some of Tasmania's finest cuisine in the restaurant
or enjoy a quite drink in the bar. Peppermint Bay was Awarded Best New Tourism Development 2005 at the
Australian Tourism Awards, and Best Tourism Restaurant 2005 at the Tasmanian Tourism Awards.
For a 'hands on' look at traditional wooden boat building stop at The Wooden Boat Centre at Franklin. Here
you will see shipwrights using traditional tools and techniques with some of Tasmania's finest to build
traditional wooden boats.
A short ferry ride from Kettering is Bruny Island is a place of surprises - gentle countryside and wild coastlines, quiet beaches and roaring
surf, lighthouses, farmhouses, and a rich heritage of sealers, whalers and explorers.
In 1788, Captain William Bligh of the Bounty planted Tasmania's first apple tree at Adventure Bay on
Bruny Island - today, fruit trees still line the highways and country roads of the Huon and Channel district.
Heart of the apple country is Huonville, on the willow-clad banks of the Huon River. Its dark waters rise far
inland in the Southwest wilderness. As the waters approach the sea, they flow quietly by the river town of
Franklin where boat builders learn the traditional skills of shaping Huon pine. Further south is the forest
town of Geeveston, close to valleys where mighty eucalypts tower skyward. At Tahune near Geeveston,
you can walk above the rainforest canopy on the awesome AirWalk.
South again to Southport, Dover and the hidden dolomite caverns of Hastings and Lune River. At last
the road winds down the shores of Recherche Bay to Cockle.
