The Derwent Valley and Highlands region is nestled in the heart of Tasmiania's magnificent mountains and wilderness. The Derwent Valley boastsrolling fruit orchards and quaint villages, and hop fields and oast houses can be seen dotted throughout the landscape.
Situated north-west of Hobart, the Derwent Valley is best accessed by the Lyell Highway or "Rivers Run" as it is better known, as it follows the course of the Derwent River through beautiful forests of willow and poplar trees.The highway snakes through the Derwent Valley past hopfields and orchards towards mountains and wilderness. Decades ago explorers, bushmen, farmers and dam-builders carved a living in this wild and rugged country.
The Derwent Valley is home to many spectacular natural sight such as magnificent Mount field National Park that has fantastic lookouts and walking trails, and Lake at Clair where you can take a ferry to the head of the lake, or try your luck at fishing for trout.Photos
