Huon Valley

The Huon Valley, often shortened to the Huon, is a rural region and river valley in southern Tasmania, Australia. Centred on the lower reaches of the Huon River, its commercial hub is Huonville, with smaller settlements lining the river and its tributaries. Historically renowned for its apple orchards, the valley's economy today also includes high-value cherry production, extensive salmon aquaculture centred on Port Huon, and a growing visitor economy. The valley's apple heritage is celebrated through events such as the Huon Valley Mid-Winter Festival and local “Apple Queen” traditions. Administratively, the region is governed by the Huon Valley Council, which encompasses a population of 19,454 as of 2024.
