About Memana
Memana is a remote rural locality on Flinders Island in north-east Tasmania, situated approximately 23 kilometres north of Whitemark, the island's main service town, within the Flinders Council area. With a population of 94 residents spread across a large 341 square kilometre area, Memana is one of the island's most sparsely settled farming districts. The locality sits amid open farmland, rolling hills, and scenic coastal scenery typical of Flinders Island's rugged interior.
Memana is predominantly an agricultural area, known for beef cattle farming and the wide-open pastoral landscapes that characterise the central and northern parts of Flinders Island. Visitors and residents can explore Tobias Furneaux Lookout and Walkers Lookout, which offer sweeping panoramic views across the island. There are no local shops or public transport services; residents rely on private vehicles and the ferry connection from Lady Barron to Bridport, or charter flights via Whitemark Airport, for access to mainland Tasmania.
Memana falls under postcode 7255 and is governed by Flinders Council (LGA). For state elections, residents vote in the Bass (McIntyre) electorate.
