About Plenty
Just 40 minutes from Hobart, 15 minutes from New Norfolk on the Rivers Run route, call in at the trout hatchery of Salmon Ponds, before visiting Bushy Park hop fields. Here you will see many examples of historic multi-storied hop kilns, carefully positioned around a beautiful lake, home to many native water birds and wildlife.
On the Rivers Run Route, visit the spectacular Russell Falls and Mt Field, en route to Lake Pedder, before driving on to the West Coast.
