Tasmania's Huon Trail

Nowhere else will the maritime, forest & farmland heritage of a region meet with such strong contrast as on the Huon Trail. Possessing the maritime gateway to the settlement of Hobart, the River Derwent runs up past Bruny Island passing the historic logging town of Geeveston to the farming community of Huonville.
