About Nunamara
Nunamara is a small rural locality nestled along the St Patricks River, a tributary of the North Esk River, approximately 14 kilometres north-east of Launceston in the Launceston local government area of Tasmania. With a population of 305 at the 2021 Census, the community is sparsely settled across rolling hills and lush river valleys that characterise this part of north-eastern Tasmania. The locality's landscape is dominated by farming land, bush reserves, and riverside corridors that give Nunamara a serene, pastoral character distinct from the urban sprawl of Launceston.
Nunamara appeals to those seeking a genuinely rural lifestyle without straying too far from Launceston's services, which are accessible within a 20-minute drive. Residents enjoy abundant natural surrounds ideal for hiking, cycling, fishing, and horse riding, while the broader region offers access to Tasmanian wine country and agricultural heritage. The locality has no significant commercial services of its own, with residents relying on nearby communities such as Lilydale or Launceston for schools, shopping, and healthcare. It attracts hobby farmers, nature lovers, and families looking for space and quiet in the Tasmanian countryside.
Nunamara falls under postcode 7259 and is governed by the local council Council (LGA). For state elections, residents vote in the Bass (Windermere) electorate.
