Huonville is a small town in (Huon Valley), Hun Canyon, southern Tasmania, about 35 kilometers from Horbart, the capital of Tasmania.
Huonville, with a resident population of about 3000, is the largest town in Hun Canyon. The town was built along the fourth largest river in Tasmania, the Hun River (Huon River). In 1792, the French explorer Bruni D ü 39 Entrecasteaux named the Hun River after the captain of one of his ships, Hun Kermandek (Huon de Kermandec). The bottom of the Hun River is full of seaweed that releases tannic acid, an important ingredient of red wine, so the river is brown and sweet at the entrance, which is also known as "Tass Tea Tasmania Tea", and locals jokingly call it "Coke River Coke River" because the dark brown river is very similar to coke.
Huonville is famous for growing apples and is one of the birthplaces of Tasmania, which accounts for more than half of Tasmania's total production. In the Huonville area, there are large and small apple orchards along the road, basically except in winter, the freshest and sweetest apples can be bought here in other seasons. There are many self-help apple stores near the Huonville apple orchard. Orchard owners usually store some of the apples picked on the same day in some roadside house. No one in the store receives money. After the customer selects, put the money directly in the cash box. This has also become a special landscape of Huonville.
