Longford, TAS 7301

Overview

Longford sits 145 m above sea level where the Macquarie and South Esk Rivers meet, just 21 km south of Launceston and a 15‑minute drive from the airport. With 3,863 residents recorded in the 2016 census, the town blends a strong agricultural heritage, wool, dairy and stock breeding, with a wealth of historic architecture, including Christ Church (1839) and the grand Archer estates such as Woolmers and Brickendon on the Australian National Heritage List.

Residents enjoy a full suite of local amenities: a Service Tasmania shop, supermarkets, bakery, banks, cafés, a kindergarten, a large primary school and a public library that operates weekdays. Two bus companies link Longford to Launceston via Illawarra Road, which joins the Bass and Midland Highways, and the nearest hospital is in Launceston. Housing ranges from heritage‑listed homesteads to modern homes near the town’s sports centre, bowls club and nearby recreation grounds, while community life is enriched by the historic racecourse, the annual Longford Show, a golf club and the protected Woodstock Lagoon wildlife sanctuary.
