Oatlands is a historic town on the shores of Lake Dulverton in central Tasmania, Australia. Situated 84 km (52 mi) north of Hobart and 115 km (71 mi) south of Launceston along the Midland Highway, it serves as a key stopover between Tasmania's major cities. At the 2021 census, Oatlands had a population of 728.[1]
The township is noted for its extensive collection of colonial sandstone buildings, many of which were constructed by convict labour during the early 19th century. Among its most significant landmarks is the Callington Mill, built in 1837, the only operating Lincolnshire-style windmill in Australia. The mill's restoration has reinforced the town's role as a heritage tourism destination.[2]
In addition to its historic appeal, Oatlands has gained recognition for its environmental sustainability efforts, winning a Tidy Towns Sustainability Award in 2023.[3]
