Plan the drive
Tahune is about an hour and a half south of Hobart. Take the Huon Highway to Geeveston, then follow the signs along Arve Road for about 30 minutes. GPS and mobile coverage are limited, so trust the signposts rather than your navigation. There is no public transport, but tour operators run day trips from Hobart.
Dress for the forest
Wear sturdy shoes and bring layers and a raincoat. The site closes in hazardous weather, and on Christmas Day.
Slow down
The Visitor Centre has a licensed café. Wildlife sightings are never guaranteed, but pademelons, echidnas and wedge-tailed eagles have been seen here; give animals space, and keep your food away from the currawongs.
