Overview

Mowbray sits on a flat‑topped, alluvial shelf known as Mowbray Hill, rising about 28 m above the Tamar River and its flood‑plains. The suburb grew from a modest grid of streets laid out on the southern slopes of the hill in the late 1800s, and after World War I expanded northward with a pattern of streets named for allied soldiers. This layered development has produced a mix of early‑era homes along Invermay Road and newer residences toward the racecourse, giving the area a varied housing stock that reflects its gradual suburbanisation.

Residents enjoy easy access to a range of local amenities. The historic Mowbray Racecourse and nearby Mowbray Golf Club offer sporting recreation, while Mowbray Heights Primary School, Launceston Church Grammar School and Kerslake Hall provide education options. Green spaces such as Churchill Park, Heritage Forest and Ravenswood Bushland Park sit within walking distance, and the Mowbray Hotel and Village Drive‑In add dining and entertainment choices. Invermay Road links the suburb to the wider Launceston network, and the nearby Glebe Airport adds an extra transport link for the community.
