Campbell Town is situated in Tasmania on the historic Midlands Highway (Highway 1), roughly halfway between Hobart and Launceston. A lovely old country town settled on the banks of the Elizabeth River in the 1830s, it was, and is, the centre of the sheep-farming region of Tasmania.

There is an impressive collection of colonial buildings such as The Grange (the local wealthy doctor’s house built in the late 1840s), the Foxhunters Return (1834), St Luke’s Church (1939) and the Red Bridge (1836). The town was the birthplace of Harold Gatty, the first person to fly around the world.
