HOLLY BANK FOREST
This is one of Tasmania's most popular picnic areas and has a distinctly European flavour. The forest is just 30 minutes from Launceston. A 40 minute 'walk of change' passes through examples of Tasmania's major production forests types in a demonstration forest. Interpretive signs show how each forest type is harvested and regenerated. In autumn, exotic deciduous trees are a colourful contrast to the natives. A place where the locals drop in for a barbecue or stay for the day to celebrate a special occasion.

Sideling Plantation

|
|
| Well-marked tracks among the plantation pines allow trailbike riders set their own level of challenge. Selected trees are harvested in a thinning operation in parts of this plantation, which means some tracks are occasionally closed and you may meet log trucks on the access roads. |
