Set beneath majestic Mount Wellington whose summit is at 1270 metres above sea level, Fern Tree is 13 km by road from Hobart's CBD.

At 450 metres, Fern Tree is Tasmania's highest community of any size. The name Fern Tree is adapted from the plant Dicksonia antarctica which has the common name of tree fern and grows abundantly in this area.

Fern Tree was originally a postal station on the road to the Huon Valley. Settled from the mid 19th century, Fern Tree and its environs have always been a major recreational area for Hobart residents and a delightful place for those who live here.
