Overview

Dodges Ferry, a rural‑residential locality in the Sorell council area of south‑east Tasmania, lies 13 km south‑east of the town of Sorell. The 2016 census recorded 2,467 residents, reflecting a steady shift since the 1960s from a holiday‑shack settlement to a community of permanent homes supported by newer facilities. Its position on the eastern side of the Pittwater entrance offers easy access to the beautiful beaches of Frederick Henry Bay – including Tiger Head, Red Ochre, Carlton and Okines – making swimming, fishing, boating and surfing central to the local lifestyle.

The suburb is served by Route C334 (Old Forcett Road / Carlton River Road), which runs north‑west to east, providing straightforward road links to surrounding towns. Families benefit from Dodges Ferry Primary School within walking distance, while the surrounding shoreline parks and surf beaches add a relaxed, outdoor‑oriented amenity mix that appeals to both permanent residents and weekend visitors.
