Overview

Saltwater River is a quiet rural locality within the Tasman LGA in Tasmania’s South‑east region. With a modest population of 123 recorded at the 2016 census, the community sits about 14 km north of Nubeena and is framed to the north‑east by the waters of Norfolk Bay. The area’s historic character is highlighted by the Coal Mines Historic Site, the preserved ruins of a former penal settlement that attract heritage interest.

Access to Saltwater River is via Route C341 (Saltwater River Road), which approaches from the east and terminates at the north end of the settlement, providing a direct link to Nubeena and onward to the historic sites of Port Arthur (23 km) and the state capital Hobart (106 km). The combination of coastal proximity, open countryside and heritage ruins creates a relaxed lifestyle suited to those who appreciate a quiet, scenic environment.
