About Tiberias
Tiberias is a tiny rural locality in the Central Highlands of Tasmania, within postcode 7120, located approximately 80 kilometres north of Hobart near the shores of Lake Tiberias. With a population of just 6 at the 2021 census across 17.9 square kilometres, it sits in the dry Midlands pastoral country at moderate elevation. The locality is named after the small Lake Tiberias, a shallow freshwater lake popular with trout fishers.
Tiberias offers an extremely secluded rural lifestyle in the Tasmanian Midlands, surrounded by fine-wool sheep grazing properties and native grasslands. Lake Tiberias provides recreational trout fishing in a scenic setting. There are no services — residents rely on Oatlands (20 km) or Campbell Town for supplies. The area appeals to pastoralists and those seeking absolute rural isolation in Tasmania's historic wool country.
Tiberias falls under postcode 7120 and is governed by the local council Council (LGA). For state elections, residents vote in the Lyons (Prosser) electorate.
