Overview

Kelso is a quiet rural locality in Tasmania’s West Tamar council, positioned about 14 km north of Beaconsfield and west of George Town. At the 2016 census the suburb recorded 146 residents, reflecting its small‑town character. Nestled on the shallow inlet of Kelso Bay along the Tamar River, the area is prized as a fishing resort for flathead, whiting and mullet and sits close to the natural attractions of Narawntapu National Park.

Greens Beach Road (Route A7) runs through Kelso from the south‑east to the west, linking the community to nearby towns and the broader Launceston region. While the historic post office closed in 1973, residents rely on the close proximity to Beaconsfield and George Town for essential services, shops and schools. Housing mirrors the suburb’s rural setting, with low‑density homes set amid the surrounding natural landscape.
