Cygnet Attractive alternative lifestyle town set in an area of great peace and beauty.
Located 56 km south of Hobart, Cygnet is one of the major centres (they are all rather small) in the Huon Valley area. Once an important apple growing town in recent times it has become the centre of an alternative lifestyle community which have established woodturning, wholefoods shops, craft activities, vintage car restoring and holiday cottage accommodation as important local industries. It should, however, be noted that the farmers in the area still rely on dairy cattle, apple orchards, mixed farming and sawmilling for their economic livelihood.
