How to get arty in the far south of Tasmania


The Huon Valley is one of the most popular tourism destinations in Tasmania - for many good reasons.

The southernmost local government area in Australia, the Huon has beautiful scenery, myriad cider and wine producers, delightful cafés and eateries showcasing local produce, and artists and artisans aplenty.

Huonville is only a 30-minute drive from Hobart and it the gateway to townships including Franklin, Cygnet, Geeveston and Dover.

If you have been meaning to visit, the weekend of October 28-29 might be a good time.

The Huon Valley Studio Art Trail over those two days will feature artists and makers from throughout the Huon Valley opening up their studios to share their creative talents and artworks.

Over 30 artists and makers will be involved and visitors can start the trail in the hamlet of Crabtree and make their way through Ranelagh, Cygnet, Glen Huon, Geeveston, Waterloo and Dover.

Those involved produce sculpture, woodwork, photography, painting, print-making, drawing, mixed media, public art, furniture, instruments, jewelry, ceramics, metalwork, textiles and more.

Studios along the trail will be open each day from 10am to 4pm.
