Frenchman's River - Helmsman's Cygnet - Tasmania
Description
Escape to Frenchman's River, Cygnet, Tasmania. Escape to serenity. And beauty. Be embraced by views of water and trees as you share a hidden valley of hundreds of acres with wallabies and quolls, Tasmanian devils and potoroos...
Or take your time, and wander beside the Frenchman’s River - the mighty Huon that rolls into Cygnet Bay - while you contemplate what might have been: French explorers came to Cygnet 200 years ago, before the English arrived.
They met the indigenous peoples, and thought they'd found paradise. They were right, and if they'd not sailed away, we might all be speaking French in Tasmania today. Discover that almost unknown history for yourself - it's a fascinating story...
And, at Frenchman's River, you'll be embraced by Nature as you sink into an horizon that sweeps towards the great Southern ocean.
Sunset and stars, seasons of warmth, seasons of cold - at Frenchman's River, you'll see the world with fresh, new eyes. And hold your breath in wonder as an Aurora fills the sky across the bay....
