Things to do in Spring in Hobart and southern Tasmania

Picture

The summer crowds are not yet here, so there are no ques at the attractions and plenty of good deals on accommodation. Experience Spring in Tasmania's south: Hobart, Huon Valley, Channel, Bruny Island and Far South. This is the season for wattle and apple tree blossoms, plus wallaby and possum pouch joeys.

Tasmanian Weather Patterns in Spring

The equal mix of daylight and night time hours provide a great balance for some short outdoor activities followed by a romantic evening cuddled in front of the wood fire. A typical 6 day Tasmanian Spring weather cycle goes something like this:
  • Partly blue sky, gentle breeze, 15 - 18 degrees max. Cold clear night with spectacular stars.
  • Mostly blue sky, calm breeze, 17 - 20 degrees max. Cold clear night with spectacular stars.
  • Mostly blue sky, calm breeze, 19 - 21 degrees max.
  • Sudden change to strong westerly winds, 12 - 15 degrees max. A day or two of wild, stormy weather.
  • Clouds clearing to a mostly blue sky, gentle breeze, 16 - 19 degrees max. Cold clear night with spectacular stars.
  • Generally repeats on a cycle of 5 to 7 days.

Things to do in Tasmanian during Spring

Natures Spring Changes

5 minutes to 5 hours
This is waterfall season. Enjoy the spectacular flows after the Spring storms on several walks that visit waterfalls south from Hobart:
  • Mt Misery Walk, 3 hours return, starts at Huon Bush Retreats
  • Mystery Creek Cave Walk, 1.5 hours return, near Buttongrass Retreat
  • Duckhole Lake Walk, 1.5 hours return, near Buttongrass Retreat

Mount Misery ​Rainforest and Waterfall Walk

Streams flow freely in the wet forest of Mount Misery.
From the car park at Huon Bush Retreats, take the loop track, rainforest spur and waterfall spur. Most people with a moderate level of fitness will complete this walk in around 3-4 hours including breaks. Allow plenty of extra time for photos. Spring brings frequent storms, which replenish the forest streams and waterfalls. Be sure to bring your raincoat.

Once we get a bit of rain, the waterfalls will return to their free flowing state.

Huonville
It's apple blossom season in the Huon Valley. Roadside stalls are still filled with crunchy apples. Drop in at Willie Smiths Apple Shed, have a coffee, cider tasting, maybe lunch. Be sure to get a take home bag of organic fresh apples.
