Overview

Old Beach is a residential‑rural locality in Brighton Council, roughly 10 km south of Brighton and bounded by the River Derwent on its west and south‑west. Surrounded by green mountainous terrain and a historic sandstone quarry, the suburb offers a semi‑rural lifestyle while still being close to Hobart’s urban fringe. The 2016 census recorded a population of 3,779 residents. Convenient transport is provided by Route B32 (East Derwent Highway), which runs through the area, linking it to nearby amenities such as the Baskerville Raceway (about 7 km away), Cassidys Bay and several heritage sites including the house at 359 Baskerville Road and the former Gagebrook post‑office building. Families benefit from the proximity of Gagebrook Primary School (≈2.3 km) and community landmarks like St George’s Church, while a mix of modern homes and historic properties reflects the suburb’s diverse housing stock.
