About Quamby Brook
Quamby Brook is a small rural locality in the Meander Valley Council area of northern Tasmania, situated approximately 54 kilometres south-west of Launceston. The locality spans just under 37 square kilometres, and with a population of around 111 residents, it represents a sparsely populated farming and grazing community set against the backdrop of the Cluan Tiers. The median household income is modest, consistent with the region's agricultural economy.
The landscape around Quamby Brook is defined by open pastoral land, creek gullies, and the forested ridgelines of the Cluan Tiers to the north-east. The nearby township of Deloraine, approximately 15 kilometres to the north, serves as the primary hub for shops, schools, and services. The area appeals to those who value a traditional rural lifestyle — farming, nature, and genuine quiet — far from the pressures of urban living.
Quamby Brook falls under postcode 7304 and is governed by the local council Council (LGA). For state elections, residents vote in the Lyons (Montgomery) electorate.
