Information

Huonville, on the Huon River and in the Huon Valley, is the largest town south of Hobart and is gateway to the far south of the island. With a population a little below 3,000 at the last senses, it is the centre of the remaining apple production area. With population increasing, it is a developing centre and an excellent base from which to explore the surrounding area.

While the phenomenon of "sea and tree change" are no doubt adding to the population the increase in cherry orchards and farmed fish production are playing their part. Several wineries offering cool climate wines operate in the area.

For caravaners Huonville offers a dump point but no caravan park, the nearest being the river side camping area at Franklin. It does have hotels, motels and a backpacker hostel.
