North West

Rich red volcanic soils and good rainfall make the North West region ideal for agriculture including growing vegetables and dairy farming. This region is typically lush and green and includes the Tarkine rainforest.

Stanley was the birthplace of Joseph Lyons who was Prime Minister of Australia from 1932 to 1939. Highfield House was built in 1843 and was designed by John Lee Archer, who also designed Parliament House in Hobart.

Smithton's industries include dairy and beef, aquaculture and fishing. In spring, Table Cape is a mass of colour with hectares of colourful tulips.

Woolnorth is a rural property on the north west tip of Tasmania which includes a substantial wind farm powered by the "Roaring 40s" winds. Marrawah has spectacular surf waves.
