Want a bird's eye view of the world? Experience the adventure and journey up to 38 metres above the Huon River at the new Tahune Forest Air Walk and Visitor Centre, only 70 kilometres south of Hobart. The 597 metre long Air Walk, situated in the Tahune State Forest, provides visitors with a magnificent view or the environment. Visitors can also view Tasmania's famous Huon Pine and relax in the comfort of the unique centre where they can sample a taste of the Huon Region. The Tahune Forest Reserve was chosen as the Air Walk site due to its unique location at the confluence of the world renowned Huon and Picton Rivers, bounded on both sides by magnificent eucalypt forest. The area already has an estimated visitor profile as a venue for four wheel driving, rafting, bushwalking and fishing. Its central location also provides a hub from which visitors can experience a range of cultural, heritage and recreational activities in the Huon Valley. Not only has the project met the highest environmental standards, the Visitor Centre also sells gourmet food and retail products supplied by the region's top producers, in turn providing them with the opportunity to increase their profile and establish a reputation for excellence and quality. During Summer a smorgasbord barbecue lunch will also be offered on site. The Air Walk structure itself has been made in Tasmania and designed to meet the highest safety standards. The steel framework is supported by 12 towers embedded in the forest floor with a concrete plinth with a further three elastic steel guy cables, specifically designed for the project, attached to each tower. The walk is built to withstand winds up to 180 km.
