EmailThis township was named after Huon de Kermadec, second in command on the 1792 French expedition that explored the area south of Hobart. The Walton brothers were the first settlers in 1840 and the village was founded in 1843. Once the prolific centre of Tasmanian apple growing, Huonville is still beautiful surrounded by blossom trees in springtime. The Huon River is used for water sports and fishing. Try the Huon River Fish Punt for fresh fish and chips, visit the Apple Heritage Museum at Grove, the Agricultural Show in November and buy fresh fruit from roadside stalls.
