Overview

Nestled on the banks of the Macquarie River, Ross sits 78 km south of Launceston and 117 km north of Hobart, making it a convenient stopover along the historic road between the two cities. The iconic 1836 sandstone Ross Bridge, still in use, carries traffic across the river and underscores the town’s role as a transport link since the early colonial era. Life in Ross revolves around its well‑preserved village centre, where heritage‑listed sandstone homes and a mix of private residences give the streets a timeless, walk‑able charm.

Residents and visitors enjoy a range of amenities within a compact setting. The Tasmanian Wool Centre doubles as a museum and tourist hub, while the 1860 Ross Village Bakery, celebrated by anime fans as the inspiration for Kiki’s Delivery Service, adds a quirky cultural draw. Three elm‑lined churches, the historic Man O’ Ross Hotel, council buildings, and a war memorial enrich community life, and the surrounding rivers and Tooms Lake dam provide natural recreation just minutes from town.
