The Huon Valley is located south of Hobart and follows the Huon River. Tasmania is known as the "Apple Isle", and the
majority of apples and other fruits are produced in the Huon region. Huonville is the largest town in the area and the Huon Valley is also the gateway to the Hartz Mountains National
Park.
Within the National Park there are various walks through the Arve Valley, with picnic spots and lookouts. Most walks are easy and short, although some four hour return walks to Hartz
Peak can be attempted. The Tahune Forest Reserve permits fishing, rafting and camping. The world's tallest hardwood trees are located in the park.
