Overview

Nestled 17 km west of Launceston on the Meander Valley Highway, Carrick is a historic village that today serves as a quiet residential base for city commuters and farming families. The town’s charm is defined by well‑preserved 19th‑century buildings such as the stone Monds Roller Mill, St Andrew’s Anglican church and the Carrick Hotel, while a roadhouse, post office, copper‑and‑metal gallery and a handful of accommodation options meet everyday needs. Community life centres on major events – the state‑wide Agfest field days, trotting and speedway races and regular cycling meets – giving the village a lively, rural‑sport atmosphere.

Transport links include the Meander Valley Highway (formerly the Bass Highway) and daily Redline Coaches services that connect Carrick to Launceston, Burnie, Hobart and surrounding towns. Housing is primarily historic homes with modest infill; council planning limits growth to around sixty new dwellings within the town’s existing boundaries, preserving its distinctive 19th‑century character.
