Northern Midlands

Northern Midlands is best known within Australia for its concentration of Georgian-era heritage towns. In central Tasmania, this rural district follows broad valleys between the Great Western Tiers and the eastern highlands, with the Macquarie River crossing its farming country. Ross and Oatlands retain substantial colonial streetscapes of sandstone houses, inns and churches. At Ross, the sandstone Ross Bridge, completed in 1836 with convict labour, is among Tasmania’s best-known colonial structures. The region also lies on the Midland Highway, the principal road linking Hobart and Launceston. Continue with other webcams from the area to see how this part of Tasmania connects regionally.
