Kimberley, Tasmania

Kimberley is a district in the Kentish Council Local Government Area in the North-West of Tasmania about midway between the towns of Sheffield and Deloraine. Once a thriving village with a school, railway station, shops and two churches, it has declined since the 1960s and is now a collection of houses with one church (St Michael and All Angels Anglican Church) remaining. Much of the surrounding farmland has been planted with plantation timber in recent years.

Papua New Guinean politician Barry Holloway was born at Kimberley and is buried there, and Kimberley Warm Springs is nearby. Kimberley is the site of the Dasher River Conservation Area.[1]
