152 Weld Street, Beaconsfield TAS 7270, Australia
It is situated in the historic gold‑mining town of Beaconsfield in north‑east Tasmania, about 40 km north of Launceston on the West Tamar Highway.
The Beaconsfield Mine & Heritage Centre and the 2006 mine collapse site are each about 0.3 km away, Jubilee Park is roughly 0.5 km away, and Cabbage Tree Hill lies around 1.3 km to the north‑west.
The West Tamar Highway (Route A7) runs through Beaconsfield, providing direct access south‑east to Launceston and north‑east along the Tamar River, while Greens Beach Road (C720) also starts nearby.
Beaconsfield grew rapidly during the late 1800s gold rush and became Tasmania’s richest gold town; today the Beaconsfield Mine & Heritage Centre preserves that mining heritage.
In 1953 Beaconsfield was the first town in Australia to fluoridate its water supply, a milestone commemorated with a monument on West Street.
The 2016 census recorded 1,298 residents in Beaconsfield, with most people born in Australia and speaking English at home.
