Welcome to our simple English blog about the Huon Valley. We write this blog for backpackers on a working holiday and for other travellers like you.

Where to church

Hello traveller! There are many lovely churches across the Huon Valley, in far south Tasmania. Today I want to share with you about three churches near Huonville which welcome travellers like you.

If you are a backpacker on a working-holiday visa, any one of these traveller-friendly churches may be good for you. I will list them in alphabetical order.

C3

C3 is a Charismatic church. They are informal and focus on worship. They sing modern songs from places like Hillsong. And they meet at 2:30pm, Sundays at 8 Heron Street (a large scout hall in the middle of Huonville).

Where to stay…

All three of these traveller-friendly churches welcome backpackers from all over the world. You would be welcome at any of them.

And if you need a place to stay when you come to the Huon Valley, you can stay with us at our hostel, Pilgrim Hill. Beds are $20 a night or $126 a week. You can book here.

Next time I write will be in late January, as we take a break over Christmas.

Till next time, safe travels!
