Tahune Airwalk, Elevated footbridge in Huon Valley, Tasmania

Tahune Airwalk is a level steel canopy walkway suspended over the treetops in the Tahune Forest, about 29 km from Geeveston above the banks of the Huon River in the Huon Valley, southern Tasmania. The steel footbridge runs 620 metres and reaches as high as 50 metres in places, with 1.6 km of access paths and 112 steps up to the peak. It looks out over the Huon and Picton Rivers joining in the far distance.

The area around the walkway was logged heavily from the 1800s onward, with Huon pine being one of the most sought-after trees. The walkway itself was opened in the late 1990s as a way to bring visitors into the forest without disturbing the ground.

The walkway passes through stands of Huon pine, a tree native to Tasmania that was once heavily harvested for its durable timber. Some of the trees visible from the walk are over 2,000 years old, which gives a different sense of scale to the surrounding forest.

The walkway is about 90 minutes south of Hobart by car, at the end of a road through remote forest. Wear shoes with a good grip, as the timber surfaces can get slippery when wet.

The steel walkway reaches 50 metres above the forest floor at its highest points, and 112 steps lead up to the peak. The site also runs Cable Eagle Hang Gliding alongside the three walks, and a shuttle carries visitors with walking difficulties to the start of the AirWalk.
