Brighton Region (Tas)

North of Hobart, Brighton encompasses residential suburbs, industrial estates and rural holdings, bisected by the Jordan River. It is home to racing stables, a historic army camp site and the iconic Pontville Bridge. Residents know a shady riverside track where platypus can be spotted at dusk and enjoy a weekend market in a converted shearing shed where local jams and crafts are sold.
