What's Happening

 at Hamlet Downs

• New Orchard

We have built a new orchard with 10 fruit trees including apples, pears, apricot, nectarine, cherries and plums. These are contained in a new enclosure which will hopefully protect them from birds, possums and wallabies. Also contained in the enclosure are a new strawberry patch, blueberry bushes and asparagus. So we look forward to providing guests with fresh produce in the years to come.

• New Bush Food Bed

A new bed of Australian natives has been established which contains plants, parts of which may be consumed. It includes native pepper berries, strawberry pine, grasses, mint bush, mountain berries etc.

• Maydena Adventure Centre

A new centre for adventure activities has been developed just 20 minutes from Hamlet Downs at Maydena.

"The centrepiece of the hub is the Eagles Eyrie lookout perched high above the Maydena township, overlooking the Styx, Florentine and Gordon forests – the ideal place to pause either during or after a day of activity in the surrounding valleys.

The Hub offers a variety of adventure activities….bush walking, mountain biking, trout fishing, and a ticketing office will operate from the Maydena township to organise your day of activity." (extract from Forestry Tas. web site)

Please see the Forestry Tasmania web site for details. Some activities may not operate all year.
