About

The place, in context

Hollybank Wilderness Adventures opened in 2004 on sixty-four hectares of protected eucalypt forest twenty-five kilometres northwest of Launceston, offering Tasmania's first commercial canopy zipline network. The site anchors itself in a stand of swamp gum and messmate stringybark, some exceeding forty-five metres in height and dated to the early nineteenth century. Operator Treetops Adventure designed the zipline circuit to traverse the mid-canopy layer where epiphytic ferns and fungi cluster on bark crevices, a microhabitat zone rarely accessible to ground-based walkers. The flagship Hollybank Forest Canopy Zip Line Adventure threads six zipline spans across three hundred and fifty metres of horizontal distance, the longest single cable measuring one hundred and twenty metres. Platform heights range from fifteen to forty-two metres above grade. Engineering surveys conducted in 2019 confirmed anchor trees meet Australian Standard AS/NZS 5848 for adventure activity structures. The course layout also incorporates suspended sky-bridges and Tarzan swings, each element requiring participants to clip into a continuous belay system before departing each platform. Safety briefings reference the 2017 update to the national ropes course code, which mandated redundant attachment points on all aerial segments. Beyond the zipline circuit, the property offers three distinct aerial ropes courses calibrated to different skill levels. The junior course, installed in 2011, sits eight metres above ground and serves visitors aged four to seven. The intermediate course rises to eighteen metres and includes cargo net traverses and floating log bridges. The advanced course, added in 2016, climbs to thirty-two metres and features tightrope walks and flying-fox exits. Each course operates on a timed rotation to prevent congestion at transfer platforms. Hollybank's forest ecology supports a resident population of Bennett's wallabies, spotted pardalotes, and grey fantails. Interpretive panels installed along the ground-level walking loop describe the role of fire in eucalypt regeneration and the symbiotic relationship between mycorrhizal fungi and tree root systems. The site borders the Upper Brid River catchment, a tributary feeding Lake Trevallyn four kilometres downstream. Morning mist frequently fills the valley floor, leaving the canopy layer in clear sunlight while the understory remains shrouded. Visitor numbers peak during Tasmanian school holidays in January and April, when advance booking windows extend to six weeks.

"The canopy layer supports microhabitats rarely accessible to ground-based walkers."
Your experience

What a tour day looks like

A step-by-step walkthrough of the visit — what you'll see, how long each stage takes, and the details that matter.

You arrive at the timber operations hut on Hollybank Road and sign the activity waiver at the front desk. Staff issue you a harness, helmet, and gloves, then walk your group two hundred metres along a gravel trail to the training platform. You practice clipping the twin carabiners onto a low cable while the guide checks each buckle and chinstrap. The group climbs a ladder to the first departure platform, fifteen metres up a swamp gum trunk. You clip both carabiners to the steel cable and step off. The first zipline span drops eight metres over ninety seconds, ending at a platform wrapped around a messmate stringybark. You unclip, traverse a suspension bridge, then reclip for the second span. The longest cable runs one hundred and twenty metres and reaches forty-two metres above the valley floor. Wind rushes past your helmet. You brake with your gloved hand ten metres before the landing platform, where a staff member steadies your arrival. The circuit continues through four more spans, each requiring a new clip-in sequence. Between zips you pause on platforms to watch grey fantails dart through the understory and spot Bennett's wallabies browsing bracken below. The final descent uses a controlled belay rope rather than a zipline. You touch ground after two and a half hours, return your equipment at the hut, and walk the forest floor loop to compare the canopy perspective with the ground view.
