About Judbury

Judbury is a small rural locality in the Huon Valley of southern Tasmania, situated along the Huon River approximately 50 kilometres south-west of Hobart. Nestled among rolling hills and productive farmland, the area is characterised by its tranquil valley setting and cool temperate climate. The locality covers a large land area but supports only a very small residential population, typical of the sparsely settled Huon Valley hinterland. It falls within the Huon Valley Council local government area.

The Judbury area is part of Tasmania's renowned apple-growing and horticultural heartland, with orchards, berry farms, and small mixed farms dotting the landscape. Residents enjoy a genuine rural lifestyle with access to the natural beauty of the surrounding forests, rivers, and the nearby Hartz Mountains National Park. The village of Geeveston, the main service centre for the upper Huon Valley, is a short drive away. Judbury appeals to those seeking a quiet, semi-self-sufficient lifestyle away from the pressures of city living.

Judbury falls under postcode 7109 and is governed by the local council Council (LGA). For state elections, residents vote in the Lyons (Derwent) electorate.
