Overview

Fern Tree is a rural‑residential locality on the south‑west fringe of Hobart, set beneath the slopes of Mount Wellington and just 9 km from the city centre. With a 2021 census population of 763, the suburb blends forested valleys where the native Tasmanian tree fern thrives with easy access to the many walking tracks that have long made the area a favourite recreation spot for locals and tourists alike, including the popular Pipeline Track. The historic Fern Tree Tavern, rebuilt after the 1967 bushfires, provides a focal point for community gatherings.

Transport is centred on Route B64 (Huon Road), which traverses the suburb from north to south‑west, linking residents to nearby Hillcrest, Ridgeway and Kingston. Housing is a mix of rural homes and residential properties that enjoy the natural backdrop of Browns River and its tributaries, while the proximity to Hobart’s amenities makes Fern Tree a tranquil yet convenient lifestyle choice.
