The Grove of Giants is home to Lathamus Keep, the world’s largest Tasmanian Blue Gum, which was only discovered in 2021. But, as the name suggests, the Grove of Giants is home to many remarkable trees. There are 150 trees over four metres in diameter or 12 metres in girth.

The Huon Valley Grove of Giants is located along the same road as two other popular hiking trails. The Lake Skinner track and the Nevada Peak Track. Both of these walks are stunning examples of Tasmania’s alpine environments.

Fish & Chips in Huonville

Tangaroa Kai -Strictly Seafood - I have had fish and chips a few times from these lovey ladies, they park just down from the Globe Hotel on the Esplanade in Huonville. They have fresh fish from Dover Wharf. They are only there until 7:00pm and only on Thursday, Fridays, Saturdays & Sundays. They have a web page Strictly Seafood . Keep an eye out if you want some really nice fish and chips. Makes a nice meal to take back to your accommodation at Riverfront Estate .
