Overview

Rossarden sits in a tranquil valley beneath Stacks Bluff, about 81 km east of Longford and split between the Northern Midlands (89 %) and Break O’Day (11 %) councils. Once a major tin‑producing centre, the town now has a modest population of 42 (2016 Census) and retains historic amenities such as a post office opened in 1933 and a town hall that served a growing community that once funded a tennis and badminton court. Its scenic outlook includes nearby Storys Creek and views of Ben Lomond, supporting a quiet lifestyle that recent tourism campaigns aim to showcase.

The main transport link is Rossarden Road (Route B42), which traverses the locality from south to north‑east, providing easy access to Avoca, Fingal and surrounding mountain areas. Housing reflects the town’s mining heritage, original miners’ homes built in the 1930s alongside newer dwellings, offering a modest mix of character properties. The recent upgrade of the mobile base station further improves connectivity for residents and visitors alike.
