With a population barely topping fourteen hundred, this Hobart-adjacent retreat offers an authentic dose of Tasmanian coastal life. Wander through the village center and you'll find a cozy general store, a artisan bakery puffing out sourdough and scallop pies, and a weathered pier where local fishermen swap tales. The surrounding bushland is crisscrossed with walking trails that open onto secluded beaches like the pebbly Oakdowns Cove, perfect for a contemplative picnic. Wildlife abounds: pademelons hop at dawn, sea eagles circle overhead, and migrating southern right whales sometimes breach offshore in winter. Just 20 minutes from Hobart's CBD, Oakdowns feels worlds away. It's an ideal base for exploring the Huon Trail or simply unwinding with a book on the jetty, glass of cool-climate pinot noir in hand.",[10,13,15,17],{"key":11,"value":12},"Police","000",{"key":14,"value":12},"Ambulance",{"key":16,"value":12},"Fire",{"key":18,"value":19},"Medical Helpline","13 HEALTH (13 43 25 84)",[21,24,27,30,33,36,39,42,45,48],{"key":22,"value":23},"Do I need a visa to visit Australia?","Most nationalities require an ETA or eVisitor visa (online, apply before travel).
