Deloraine Attractions 
Deloraine (pop. 2100) lies on the Meander River in the center of a farming district (particularly dairy farming), near the intersection of the Bass and Lake Highways. It has a beautiful setting between the north coast of Tasmania and the hills of the Great Western Tiers to the south.
A few buildings survive from the original village, established about 1840, among them Bonney's Inn (1831), now a restaurant, and Bowerbank Mill (ca 1853), a water mill built by William Archer which was converted to steam power in 1871 and now houses an art gallery. Other notable buildings are the Deloraine Folk Museum, in the former Family and Commercial Inn (1864), St Mark's Church (c 1860; Anglican), the Roman Catholic church (c 1880) and a small military museum.
