This is a hosted stay through Hipcamp, below is the information provided by the Host regarding their offering. Welcome to The Bush Circus. This is where I love to play and I welcome you here. All the deets you may need are listed here so read careful. Of course you can contact me if you can't work something out. You arrive here at the bottom corner of the property on Slab Rd where there is a place to park cars around several large gum trees. There is a very short walk through bush on manicured trails to one of three dedicated camp sites all of which is sign posted. There is also one RV spot at the car park. Toilet is located within a short walk from each campsite. All sights are reasonably flat and they all have a campfire. Please feel free to pick up twigs and breakable sticks to create a fire. If you want firewood it is $1 per piece and you can put this into the tin at where the firewood is collected. RV Spot- This is marked out as a section on the car park area.

Woodbridge is one of the prettiest towns on the D'Entrecasteaux Channel and is a lovely place to stay while exploring the Huon Valley and Bruny Island. Woodbridge is a 35-min drive (35 km) south of Hobart. This semi-rural area of rolling hills and winding roads is home to small farms and craft makers. The area produces apples and stone fruit while the Channel is well known for its Atlantic salmon farms. Woodbridge is also home to the Peppermint Bay Restaurant complex. The restaurant offers transportation in style aboard the luxury, high-speed catamaran, Peppermint Bay II. The fully guided cruise departs from the Hobart waterfront, travelling along 40 km of coastline to the restaurant's waterside destination. Nearby is Grandvewe Farm Sheep Cheesery where you can sample 15 different cheeses and enjoy a glass of wine while watching the process of cheese making and maturing. From September to March you can also see sheep milking demonstrations, if your timing's right (4.30 pm). Be sure to travel a few minutes down the road to visit the Birchs Bay Art Farm which has a cafe on site, as well as some lovely walks through their sculpture trail. Also nearby is Hartzview Vineyard with its chapel-like tasting room and beautiful views across the Huon River to the Hartz mountains. The ferry across to Bruny Island, departing from Kettering, is just a few kilometres north.

Commanding 400 metres of shoreline along the D'entrecasteaux Channel, Tunnel offers an off-grid retreat on Bruny Island. Showcasing a striking brutalist concrete design by the renowned architects at Room11, Tunnel seamlessly merges art and architecture. Every interior detail has been carefully considered, from the Danish furnishings by Vipp to the ‘tunnel vision’ water views through the structure. Two chromatic glass lightwell installations cast a daily kaleidoscope of color across the polished concrete surfaces, creating a unique visual experience for every guest. Just a 2 minute bushwalk from Tunnel, you’ll find The Studio. A second retreat for guests, the space is designed for moments of creativity, productivity and solitude. From the doorstep, immerse yourself in the rugged beauty of Bruny Island’s land and sea. Unwind in the outdoor bath, kayak the tranquil waters, cosy up by the outdoor fire or set up a picnic on the peninsula deck.
