new norfolk, tasmania

New Norfolk is a town on the Derwent River, in the south-east of Tasmania, Australia. It lies 35 km north-west of Hobart on the Lyell Highway, and has a population of 5,820 (1991 census). It is part of the Municipality of Derwent Valley. The town's pioneers were re-settled from Norfolk Island in 1808. They soon farmed the rich land around the town. They introduced hops to the area in the 1860s which became an important crop. The first road connecting the town to Hobart was built in 1818; the first railway was in 1887. During the 1940s, a newsprint mill was established at nearby Boyer, boosting industry in the local area.
