As we leave Hobart and follow the Derwent River into the beautiful Derwent Valley, keep a look out for native birds along the shores of the river. Passing through the hop fields of Bushy Park we visit the Salmon Ponds and Trout Fishing Museum. Set amidst historic surrounds within original and stunning English parklands, this is the oldest trout hatchery in the Southern Hemisphere (est. 1864). Enjoy a complimentary morning tea, perhaps feed the trout and salmon and visit the museum.

Arriving at Mt Field National Park, start with an easy guided walking tour through a canopy of temperate rainforest, among the fern glades to view crystal clear waters and the spectacle of Russell Falls. Soak up the serenity and atmosphere as we stroll alongside forest streams. Plenty of time to enjoy lunch (at your own expense) in the park before we head back to Hobart.
