DISTANCES: Hobart 10Km

This village at the foot of Mt Wellington was almost destroyed during the bushfires of February 1967. Reconstruction included a much enlarged tavern with roaring log fires.

Walking tracks from Fern Tree lead to Silver Falls and Fern Tree Bower (see also Mt. Wellington).

Nearby, an historic village with authentic buildings showing Tasmania’s yesterdays has been recreated in an unique bush setting.
