Franklin
Franklin is a small township on the western side of the Huon River in
the south-east of Tasmania, between Huonville and Geeveston with a

Named after Sir John Franklin, Lieut-Governor of Van Diemen's Land in 1837-1843, and his wife Lady Jane Franklin, who subdivided a large property there to settle families of modest means, Franklin offers a post office and ATM, organic food and products, catering, motor mechanic, IT services, general practitioner service, canvas new and repairs, a primary school, aged care facility with respite and so much more.
The township has a pet friendly camp ground and off-leash play area for dogs on the foreshore, and is known as a dog friendly town.
