Dorset Region
Northeast Tasmania’s Dorset region encompasses forests, tin mining heritage and coastal gems such as Bridport. Mountain biking in Derby, fly‑fishing on the Ringarooma River and golfing at Barnbougle attract visitors year round. Residents head to a lesser‑known fern glade where glow‑worms twinkle at night and visit a tiny distillery producing small‑batch whisky in an old barn.
Dorset Council has an approximate area of 3,300 km².
It is within the state electorate of Bass.
