huonville, tasmania

Huonville is a town on the Huon River, in the south-east of Tasmania, Australia. It lies 40km south of Hobart on the Huon Highway, and has a population of 1524 (1991 census). It is part of the Municipality of Huon Valley. The river which flows through the town was discovered by Admiral Bruni d'Entrecasteaux. The town, river, and all other features with Huon in their name, were named for Captain Huon de Kermadec, second in command to d'Entrecasteaux. The area was first settled by William and Thomas Walton in 1840. Today the Huon Valley is best known as one of Tasmania's primary apple growing areas. Fish farming is common, and the Huon pine is cultivated in the area. The Huon River, and nearby d'Entrecasteaux Channel are popular fishing and boating areas, the channel being sheltered by Bruny Island.
