Locality


Oatlands is situated on the shores of Lake Dulverton, a bird sanctuary which has been stocked with trout, Get your licence in Oatlands and throw a line in or picnic at the free BBQs. Located 1hr from either Launceston or Hobart on the Heritage Highway,

The town boasts the largest collection of colonial sandstone buildings in a village environment in Australia, including the oldest working wind driven mill in the southern hemisphere which has recently been restored to its former glory. You can now watch flour being milled and purchase flour and bread at the Companion Bakery where they make bread to an age old process. It was originally developed as a military base managing convicts between Hobart and Launceston, much of Oatlands being convict built. These buildings now house Pubs, Cafes, Restaurants, lolly shop, antique shops, craft shops and bakeries, plus the recently opened pancake parlour. Oatlands has all the service of a large town including a hospital, supermarket and on-line facilities. Historical information and guided tours of the mill and entire town are available at the Heritage Hwy Tourism Centre located next to the Callington Mill. Why not take a Ghost Tour (prior bookings essential). Another must see attraction is Casaveen, world famous for woollen jumpers and factory tours.

Visit nearby highland lakes, only 20 min drive away where in winter, snow can transform the alpine landscape or in summer do a bit of trout fishing and take in the beauty of these pristine lakes. 1hr drive through undulating countryside will take you to Orford on the beautiful east coast. Oatlands is centrally located, a great stopover on your travels or an excellent base to discover the rest of Tasmania.
