Sleepy Woodbridge is one of the prettiest little
towns on the D'Entrecasteaux Channel, easily
reached via winding, country roads.
Overlooking Peppermint Bay and the northern
end of Bruny Island, Woodbridge is a scenic
hotspot for local produce and craft.
With water views on one side and rolling hills
and small farms on the other, the area of
Woodbridge produces a bounty of apple and
stone fruit varieties. The Channel is also well
known for Atlantic salmon farms which can be
visited on a selection of cruises.
At the 2006 census, Woodbridge had a
population of 271.
Today Woodbridge is an attractive alternative
lifestyle destination with craft shops, sculpture
gardens, excellent boutique food and wine and
charming cafes and restaurants. It is also noted
for its orchards of apples, cherries and pears.
Woodbridge is located 36 km south of Hobart
via the Channel Highway.
