DERWENT VALLEY 

& CENTRAL HIGHLANDS 

To the west of Hobart, you’ll find the scenic 

Derwent Valley, rugged Central Highlands, and 

charming Southern Midlands. Enjoy picturesque 

scenery and an array of landscapes as you explore, 

including tranquil rivers, rolling hills, giant forests, 

sprawling hop fields, farmland, and snow-capped 

mountain peaks. Nature lovers will be in their 

element, with the Mt Field National Park, Junee 

Cave State Reserve, Southwest National Park, 

and Cradle Mountain-Lake St Clair National Park 

to explore. 

The attractions are just as varied as the scenery. 

Taste whisky, go antiquing, walk alongside the 

Derwent River (or glide out in a kayak), pick fresh 

raspberries, spot a platypus, take a cooking class, 

and visit the salmon ponds where the first brown 

trout were hatched in the 1800s. 

Visit Strathgordon and truly appreciate the power 

of nature. Experience trout fishing paradise in 

the Central Highlands, treat yourself to a relaxing 

farmstay, see the giant pipes at Tarraleah, and 

stand in the geographical heart of Tasmania at 

Derwent Bridge. 


The Heritage Highway runs between Hobart and 

Launceston, and is dotted with charming colonial 

towns steeped in colourful history. Take your time 

to explore the Southern Midlands, stopping in at 

the quaint Georgian villages that originated as 

coaching stops and military garrisons in the early 

1800s. Pop into the antique stores, art galleries 

and boutique shops, and refuel at the local 

restaurants, cafés, bakeries, and distilleries. 

Explore grand estates, Georgian cottages, and 

gothic churches. Gain fascinating insight into 

19th century life and the colourful characters of 

the time, including wealthy landowners, farmers, 

bushrangers and convicts. Spot bushrangers, 

coaches, soldiers, and convict chain gangs near the 

roadside – the sculptures make up the Shadows of 

the Past Silhouette Trail. 

TIPS 

Walk to the famous Russell Falls in the 

Mt Field National Park. 

Climb Pulpit Rock for top views of New 

Norfolk and beyond. 

Abseil the Gordon Dam and kayak 

Lake Pedder. 

Tour a striking gothic estate in Pontville 

and taste their award-winning gin. 

Visit a whisky distillery and eat delicious 

gourmet fare in a former coaching inn 

at Kempton. 

Count historic sandstone buildings, 

including a rare working Georgian windmill, 

at Oatlands.

SOUTHERN TROVE 

The Southern Trove is within easy reach, just a 

10 minute drive south from Hobart. The region 

encompasses the d’Entrecasteaux Channel, Bruny 

Island, the Huon Valley, and the Far South. Take 

a memorable day trip or extended adventure 

and discover diverse treasures including World 

Heritage Wilderness, world-class produce, 

amazing scenery, charming seaside towns, 

unique wildlife, and a rich history. 

The drive itself is a pleasure; from the coasthugging 

journey through the Channel and 

onwards over the tree-lined country roads of 

the Huon Valley to the bottom of the map, where 

mountains and forest meet the great Southern 

Ocean. Along the way, unearth fascinating stories 

about the early whaling, timber cutting, boat 

building and fruit growing industries that shaped 

the region. 

Pause to admire the breathtaking scenery at 

iconic places such as The Neck on Bruny Island, 

Snug Falls in the Channel, up high on the elevated 

walkway in the Tahune Forest, and underground 

in the giant caves of the Far South. 


TIPS 

Take your time on a Channel roadtrip, 

stopping to enjoy the local eateries and 

attractions, stunning views, and quiet 

beaches. 

Catch the ferry to Bruny Island and see a 

white wallaby, enjoy a wilderness adventure 

cruise, and visit the historic Cape Bruny 

Lighthouse. 

Today, the Southern Trove is home to gourmet 

producers and talented artists, designers and 

makers (visit the local galleries and markets to pick 

up a keepsake). A tasting journey might include 

the cellar doors of vineyards and cider houses, 

artisan cheeseries, boutique breweries, woodfired 

bakeries, farmgate shops offering stone and 

berry fruits, restaurants serving grass-fed beef 

and seafood, and producers making handcrafted 

chocolates and fudge. 

Go bushwalking in the Southwest National 

Park, the Hartz Mountains National Park, 

and the South Bruny National Park. 

Stop at a roadside stall in the Huon Valley 

and pick up some delicious fruit. 

Learn about the traditional craft of wooden 

boat building at Franklin. 

Drive to the very end of the road and

Tasmania’s Huon Valley – Open up to the South! 

The Huon Valley starts just 25 minutes south east of 

Hobart, and encapsulates everything that Tasmania 

has to offer in one place. 

Huonville is the main hub, famous for its apples and 

cider lovers will be in heaven! Travel east and stop in at 

studios and galleries to admire the work of local artists 

and craftspeople, and choose a precious keepsake 

in Cygnet. 

Crossing the bridge at Huonville and travelling south you 

will arrive at Franklin, one of the world’s last refuges for 

the disappearing craft of wooden boat building. But there 

is more to the Huon than just food and crafts, with the 

real treasure being Mother Nature herself. 

Geeveston combines contemporary country living with 

rich pioneer heritage of logging days gone by. It’s also 

the gateway to the wonderful temperate rainforests of 

the southern forests, Hartz Mountains National Park 

and World Heritage Wilderness Area. 

If it’s nature you are seeking on a grand scale, the far 

south will take your breath away and replace it with 

some of the purest air on earth. Descend into nature’s 

cathedrals at Hastings Caves and immerse yourself in 

the warm thermal springs. 

Venture to as far as the road takes you, and arrive at 

beautiful Cockle Creek. Take a foreshore stroll to the 

whale sculpture, or for the more avid bushwalker, head 

out to the miraculous South East Cape and be blown 

away by the fact that just a hop, skip and a jump 

(well, ok not quite), you could be at Antarctica! 

The sheltered seaside towns of Dover and Southport, 

offer seclusion to the fishermen who harvest the 

Southern Ocean’s bountiful crayfish, oysters and salmon 

that feature on menus around the world. Coupled with 

some of the world’s most pristine beaches and white 

sands, you will never want to leave. 

The Huon Valley and Geeveston Visitor Centres in 

Huonville and Geeveston are available to assist you 

with all your information and booking services. 

Open your hearts, minds and taste buds, and let the 

Huon Valley introduce you to the real Tasmania. 

The Huon Valley Visitor Centre is an accredited 

Tasmanian Visitor Information Centre, proudly displaying 

the highly recognisable yellow i. Open 7 days per week
