The organisation says while Tasmania has an impressive level of reservation on public land many of the State’s unique ecosystems plants and animals occur on private land. In contrast with Recherche Bay this purchase in the Huon Valley looks set to proceed without controversy. AIRLIE WARD: The Egg Islands are just half an hour south of Hobart nestled in the Huon River. Driving south from Huonville you could be forgiven for thinking the land mass is the other side of the estuary.
