Tasmania’s apple orchard, the Huon Valley is a lush and pretty region on Hobart’s doorstep.

Centering on the little riverside town of Huonville, on the Huon River, it’s a region of hillside orchards and villages. The large orchard industry now embraces berries, vineyards and stone fruit, and the towns offer tearooms and antique shops.

Book a jet-boat ride on the river, sample hundreds of varieties of apples, drop into a cellar door for some wine tasting, go fishing or relax at a country-style cafe.

The Huon Valley also makes a great base for exploring Tasmania’s wild national parks and going for a stroll on the Tahune Forest AirWalk.

Doing what: Huon Valley and Tahune Forest Airwalk Tour from Hobart

What a wonderful experience this was! When the tour guide said there were "X-number of steps", we thought he meant stairs, but it was just walking steps. Only once did my vertigo surface on the airwalk and that part could have been easily avoided. I'm proud of getting over the swing bridges though. We enjoyed lunch in a quiet forest setting with some new-found friends.
