Woodbridge Information

38 kilometres south of Hobart on the D'Entrecasteaux Channel, you'll find the pleasant coastal town of Woodbridge. The town looks across the narrow channel to the low lying hills of Bruny Island.

The area is famous for its apples, cherries and pears and the seasonal menu contains many varieties of fruit and vegetables, organic beef, seafood, and farm cheeses.

Woodbridge Hill rises to some 580 m above sea level and the area, accessible via the C627, contains a 400ha park incorporating some magnificent rainforest vegetation.

The area was first explored by Bruni D'Entrecasteaux in 1792 and was settled in the early 1800s by timber cutters, whalers and sealers. Although hard to imagine when looking at the beautiful scenery of the area today, this was once a harsh and violent place. The whaling stations and timber camps were rough places but life was even harder for local aboriginies who were persecuted and maltreated by the settlers, eventually disappearing altogether with the death of the famous Truganini in 1876.
