The Derwent Valley brims with plenty of surprise. There are whiskies to taste, farming settlements, antiques to muse over and salmon ponds where the first brown trout were hatched in the 1800s.

Stories of early pioneers have been carved into Huon pine at the Wall in the Wilderness and in the historic town of New Norfolk you’ll find intriguing Willow Court and an antique treasure or two.

Further into the valley, the highway leads you up into the Central Highlands, an area teeming with trout and snow capped peaks during cooler months.
