Chauncy Vale Wildlife Sanctuary
Chauncy Vale is located 40km north of Hobart and 4km east of the township of Bagdad. It is the top end of a narrow valley running east-west between the Midland Highway and the Coal River Valley.
The sanctuary was bequeathed to the local council (now the Southern Midlands Council) by Anton Chauncy in 1988, with a later gift of the house and home paddocks by his and Nan's daughter, Heather.

Owned and operated by the guides that will be taking you down the river, Elias and Franzi will provide an unparalleled experience based on their intimate knowledge and love of the Franklin River.

Aboriginal Tasmanians
Welcome to Country
The South East Aboriginal Corporation preserves the heritage of Tasmania's traditional custodians.
Contact Setac on 6295 0004 or email [email protected]
This is the Country of the Melukerdee band of the Palawa people. These are Aboriginal Tasmanians, the traditional and continuing custodians of this Country. They have taken care of this land for at least 37, 000 years, many people say much longer. The responsibility to conserve and protect Country’s natural values is now one which is shared with all the people who call it a home or have other meaningful connection.
Palawa is a name many Aboriginal Tasmanians now use to refer to themselves, just as some Aboriginal Victorians call themselves “Kooris”. It is a name used widely by Aboriginal groups in Tasmania at the time of the British invasion. Tasmanian Dreaming stories tell that Palawa was the first human. Using Palawa as a name helps Aboriginal Tasmanians to maintain an enduring link with their cultural heritage and helps maintain an identity clearly distinct from that of other Tasmanians.
Truwana is a Palawa word used to refer to the island of Tasmania and ‘Country’. In recognition of Aboriginal Land Rights, Cape Barren Island, off the north east coast, was returned to Aboriginal ‘ownership’ in 2005 and renamed Truwana.
It is important to recognize that in Aboriginal philosophy people do not, nor cannot ‘own’ Country. Instead, Country owns us. The Palawa people see their role as custodians and caretakers of this Country: Truwana.
