Tahune Airwalk, Elevated footbridge in Huon Valley, Tasmania
Description
Tahune Airwalk is an elevated footbridge that weaves through forest canopy in the Huon Valley, stretching over several hundred meters above the ground. The structure ends at an observation platform positioned above the confluence where two rivers meet.
History
The footbridge was built in an area long associated with forestry since the 1800s, near the site where timber licensing was once monitored. This connection to the region's logging heritage shaped the landscape visitors see today.
Culture
The walkway brings visitors face to face with Tasmania's native Huon pines, which line the riverbanks naturally and hold deep roots in local forestry practices passed down through generations.
Practical
This facility sits about 90 minutes south of Hobart and welcomes visitors throughout the year. Wear sturdy shoes with good grip, and choose clear weather for walking, as the surfaces become slippery when wet.
Did you know?
The cantilevered platform extends dramatically over the river valley, offering an experience few people get to have. Walking among the treetops at height creates a sensation of floating within the forest itself.
