Overview

Cressy sits 35 kilometres south‑west of Launceston, offering a relaxed rural lifestyle anchored in its 1850s wheat‑farming roots. Renowned as Tasmania’s “Trout capital,” the town draws anglers to Brumby’s Creek, the Weirs, Macquarie Lake and the Liffey rivers, and hosts the annual Tasmanian Trout Expo that celebrates the region’s premier fishing conditions.

The community is supported by a long‑standing post office (opened 1856) and an extensive agricultural research facility operated by the Tasmanian Institute of Agricultural Research. Residents enjoy easy access to nearby towns such as Bishopsbourne, Bracknell, Liffey and Longford, while the short drive to Launceston connects them to broader services and employment opportunities.
