A drive south from Huonville, the hub of this surprising valley, to Franklin and then on to Geeveston will provide the visitor with many wonderful aspects of Tasmania. There are lovely vistas of verdant valleys, fruit-laden orchards, towering gum trees and the tranquil river, pretty riverside towns, and many opportunities to try delicious fresh produce including apples, berries and succulent seafood. Excellent wines are available at local vineyards and galleries and craft studios dot the route. Local artisans practise skills as varied as traditional boat-building to painting to crafts made from clay, glass and fragrant Huon pine.
