About

​This walk is different. While the easy 2km track takes you through some native forest, most of the huge trees here were planted with cricket bats and tennis racquets in mind. The many exotic species, including the ash trees originally planted as a wood supply for bats and racquets, are particularly attractive in autumn. The forest has spacious picnic facilities nestled among the trees. The site is also an adventure hub, offering a zip-line canopy tour and a motorised Segway tour (fees apply for both of these options).

Hollybank is managed by Sustainable Timbe​r Tasmania
