Effects of January 2019 Bush Fires on Tourism in Tasmania's Huon Valley

Roads are now open, accommodation is open and activities are trading as normal, with few exceptions. The January 210 bushfires in Southern Tasmania had a brief effect on tourist activities but very few accommodations and activities have been damaged.

The smoke is gone, the weather is mild, the fires are under control. There are a few hotspots requiring attention but there is no more running fire.
  • Tahune Airwalk and associated accommodation and activities are closed indefinitely.
  • Hartz Mountains National Park road is still closed due to unsafe trees but that should re-open soon
Everything else is operating normally. See you in southern Tasmania soon :)
