Sorell

Sorell sits near the head of Pitt Water in southeastern Tasmania, Australia, where an estuarine inlet opens toward Frederick Henry Bay beside tidal wetlands and low-lying farmland. The town is a commercial and service centre for the Sorell municipality, positioned on the road route between Hobart and the Tasman Peninsula. Its name commemorates William Sorell, lieutenant-governor of Van Diemen’s Land from 1817 to 1824, linking the town to Tasmania’s early colonial era. Roads from Sorell also lead to coastal communities and to Richmond, an inland township known for its colonial heritage.
