This website commenced in August 2005 by a small team of local Tasmanians and recently adopted interstate residents, who wanted to encourage the world to discover our special place called the Huon Valley as well as provide useful, significant information for everyone.

We have found that many new residents to the area often have to rely upon our locally produced newspaper or the telephone book to source a business or recreational activities. Occasionally, that ‘special’ place of interest or new business owner, who doesn’t repeatedly market their organization, is overlooked. Like many communities throughout the world, we too have a thriving referral network, which HuonValley.net.au is endeavouring to expose.

HuonValley.net.au contains a variety of community information, which we hope will make sourcing specific details about 'The Valley' much easier for our residents and visitors. Our goal is to provide a unique assortment of information, which includes government and local services, history, accommodation, local maps and community events throughout the year.

We are most interested in compiling history on the Towns of the Huon (see 'History of the Huon' on the navigation menu), so if you have something you would like to share with us, please feel welcome to contact us.
