22.01.2022 Geeveston’s fallen Arve Big Tree, which was sadly destroyed in the summer 2019 bushfires, will be re-created in augmented reality (AR) so that people can experience and remember the tree’s natural wonder. The Huon Valley Council thanks the Tasmanian Government for funding this project through the Economic and Community Recovery Fund and the Regional Tourism Projects Program. An interpretive plinth will be constructed as a base for launching the AR experience, providing a ...memorial to commemorate the bushfires and a place for people to reflect on our community’s strength in recovery, as well as learn about the Big Tree and its story. We are pleased to be able to team up with local businesses to deliver this meaningful project in 2021. Ninapatina and Flux Vans of Port Huon will construct the plinth out of corten steel, mimicking the tree’s real footprint, while Handbuilt Creative the creators of Geeveston’s first AR project, Huon Platypus are developing the digital experience with care and careful attention to detail. The plinth will also feature quotes taken from the two Huon Beings short films that were produced post-fires. You will be able to access the AR experience using a free, easy-to-use app downloadable to your own device. Be sure to tune in to Your Afternoon on ABC Hobart Radio at 2:30pm tomorrow to hear Cr Bec Enders, Mayor of the Huon Valley Council and David Shering of Handbuilt Creative talking with Helen Shield about this beautiful project.

20.01.2022 Unfortunately, the pool at Port Huon Sports & Aquatic Centre is closed from today until further notice. The air conditioning units that provide filtered air in the pool room have broken down, meaning the environment in the pool room is not at the standard required for a safe and pleasant swimming experience. We are waiting on new parts for the air conditioners to arrive, which will take about 12 weeks.... We apologise for the inconvenience and aim to reopen the pool ASAP. We will provide another update soon. The remainder of the centre is still open for you to enjoy
