New Norfolk Attractions

New Norfolk (pop. 6200) lies in the beautiful valley of the Derwent. The first inhabitants came from the settlement of Norfolk Island after its abandonment in 1807: hence the name of the town. With many fine old buildings, it has been listed by the National Trust as a Historic Town under statutory protection.

St Matthew's Church (Anglican) in Bathurst Street, built in 1823, is Tasmania's oldest church. In Montague Street are the Old Colony Inn (1835) and the Bush Inn, 20 years older, which received its liquor license in 1825. Nearby is the landing via stage used by passenger boats on the Derwent. In the Oast House in Hobart Road hops were dried from 1867 to 1969; it now houses a museum (hop growing) and an art gallery.
