Overview

Cuckoo is a quiet, rural locality in the Dorset council area of north‑east Tasmania, situated about 9 km south‑east of the regional hub of Scottsdale. With just 53 residents recorded in the 2016 census, the community enjoys a close‑knit atmosphere surrounded by native forest that supports a modest logging industry. The Great Forester River skirts the north‑western edge, adding a natural waterway to the landscape, while nearby rises such as Johnstones Hill and Cockatoo Hill offer a rustic backdrop for outdoor pursuits.

Roads link Cuckoo easily to surrounding towns: the Tasman Highway (A3) runs just to the north, and Cuckoo Road provides direct access into the settlement. Proximity to Scottsdale means residents can reach schools, shops and health services with a short drive, while the locality’s blend of forested land and modest homes offers a laid‑back, country‑living lifestyle.
