Kingston
Kingston occupies a low coastal plain in southern Tasmania, south of Hobart and close to Blackmans Bay on the Derwent estuary. Brown's River runs through the suburb towards Kingston Beach, linking its built-up centre with the coast. The settlement was formerly known as Brown's River, a name retained by the watercourse. As the administrative centre of the Kingborough municipality, Kingston serves growing southern Hobart suburbs and communities along the Channel Highway. Housing, schools, shops and sporting facilities give the district a practical suburban character, while the beach and river corridor remain its closest connections to the shore.
