Overview

Forester is a sparsely‑populated rural locality in the Dorset council area of north‑eastern Tasmania, situated 21 km north‑east of Scottsdale. The 2016 census recorded just eight residents, reflecting a tranquil, low‑density lifestyle surrounded by natural features such as the Great Forester River on its western edge and the Tomahawk River, which rises within the community and flows northward. Historically a logging area, the locality’s open‑country character offers a quiet retreat for those who value space and nature.

Access to Forester is provided by Route C834 (Forester Road), which traverses the settlement from south‑west to south‑east, while Route C832 (Waterhouse Road) skirts part of the western boundary. Nearby amenities include the Alanas Picnic Ground, a short 1.7 km drive away, giving residents a convenient spot for outdoor recreation. The modest population and extensive land use suggest a housing mix dominated by isolated dwellings rather than dense development.
