Steeped in history, New Norfolk is a historic river town located roughly 35 kilometers upriver from Hobart. Established in 1811 by evacuees from Norfolk Island, it is one of Australia’s oldest European settlements and contains a wealth of early colonial architecture, including the nation’s oldest continuously operating Anglican church. For generations, the town was synonymous with the hop-growing industry, a heritage still visible in the iconic oast houses dotting the landscape. In recent years, New Norfolk has experienced a quiet revitalization. The town has become a notable destination for antique enthusiasts, independent artisans, and food producers who utilize the fertile soils of the Derwent Valley. The community retains a distinct rural warmth, supported by independent retailers, traditional pubs, and a growing café culture. It offers a peaceful lifestyle that appeals to those looking for historical character, a riverside setting, and a strong sense of local identity.
