Few other national parks in Australia offer such a diversity in vegetation, ranging from tall swamp gum forests and massive tree ferns at the base of the mountain, through rainforest along the Lake Dobson Road, to alpine vegetation at the higher elevations.

2. Hartz Mountain National Park - Another special park within a great days drive to the Huon Valley. This park is a window into the south-west wilderness, offering views of remote mountain ranges as far as the southern coast. As well as spectacular views of a landscape which has been shaped by glaciers during past ice ages, the park offers a variety of unique features.

3. Hastings Caves - The Hastings Caves State Reserve offers visitors a variety of experiences, from relaxing in the warm waters of a thermal springs pool, walking in the rich forests of the reserve and, of course, the unique experience of exploring Newdegate Cave. Both the thermal pool and the trail which leads through the surrounding forests are accessible to wheelchair users.

4. Tahune Airwalk - just a 90 minute drive south into the magnificent Huon Valley and you can have a beautiful days trip. This 597m walk amongst the trees gets you 20m above the ground.

In the 1820s, Richmond became one of Lieutenant-Governor Arthur’s police districts; the gaol, the court house, the barracks and a watch house were erected. Today you can see the historic Bridge, Goal, Court House all complimented by craft galleries and many attractions.
