Scottsdale is a major centre for the region between
Launceston and the east coast. Surrounded by rolling hills and backed by wilderness, Scottsdale is ideally placed for bushwalking, four-wheel drive tours, numerous watersports and even skiing in winter.
The rich soil makes the Scottsdale region
Tasmania's premier market garden area, where vegetables grown in the north-east are processed for export. Timber, dairy farming, poppies and mining are also major industries. In Scottsdale the beautiful turn-of-the-century buildings house restaurants, accommodation and galleries.
