Overview

Avoca is a quiet farming community in Tasmania’s Central and North‑east regions, with the 2021 census recording 192 residents. Nestled on the South Esk River near its meeting with St Paul’s River, the village enjoys river‑front scenery and a heritage feel that dates back to its 1830s settlement as a farming, coal and tin‑mining hub. Historic landmarks such as St Thomas Anglican Church (1842), the parish hall (c. 1850) and the Union Hotel (1842) give the town a distinct 19th‑century character, while the surrounding farmland supports a lifestyle centred on agriculture and open‑space living.
