Overview

Forest is a small rural community in Tasmania’s North West, situated about 11 km east of Smithton. With a modest 2021 census population of 464, the locality enjoys a quiet lifestyle framed by the Black River to the south‑east and the heritage St Bartholomew’s Anglican Church just 0.8 km away on Mengha Road. Nearby natural features such as Stuchberry Hill add a touch of outdoor recreation for residents and visitors alike.

The Bass Highway runs along Forest’s north‑western edge, providing easy road access to neighbouring towns. From the highway, the C221 Back Line Road, B21 Stanley Highway and C219 Mengha Road connect the area to Smithton, Stanley and the west‑coast communities, supporting a mix of dwellings typical of a rural setting, from family homes to larger farm properties.
