New Norfolk has been purchased.

New Norfolk is a historic town which used to be called Elizabeth Town until the settlers arrived from Norfolk Island. New Norfolk is 35km northwest of Hobart and lies on the Derwent River.

New Norfolk has been the centre of the hop-growing area of Tasmania for years and some of the original oast houses (kilns) still remain today. An Oast House has been converted into a museum with a gift shop and tea rooms called 'The Oast House Hop Museum'. Located on the Lyell Highway it provides an insight into the processes hop farmers used throughout the Derwent Valley and hosts interesting displays.

Next to the Oast House is the elegant residence of 'Tynwald'. The huge three storey house looks over the Derwent Valley and was first used in the 1800's by one of the districts earliest settlers, John Terry. It has since been extended with an added tower, bay window and verandah.
