Overview

Rossarden is a quiet rural locality split between the Northern Midlands (89 %) and Break O’Day (11 %) councils, sitting about 81 km east of Longford in Tasmania’s Central‑North‑East region. Nestled in a valley beneath the 1,527‑m Stacks Bluff and within sight of Ben Lomond, the former tin‑mining town offers open‑space living and scenic mountain views that attract a modest tourism push. The 2016 census recorded just 42 residents, giving the area a relaxed, close‑knit atmosphere rooted in its historic town hall and post office, which have served the community since 1933.

Access is via Route B42 (Rossarden Road), which runs south‑to‑north‑east through the settlement, linking it to nearby Avoca (19 km) and other regional centres. Housing reflects the town’s heritage, with early‑1930s dwellings and later homes that followed periods of population growth, while recent improvements such as a 2016 mobile base‑station plan have boosted connectivity for residents.
