The increasing popularity of Tasmania, and Hobart, as a place to live has led to and expansion of the urban environs to cater for those requiring a less cluttered lifestyle within a reasonable commuting distance of the city.
Lewisham, Dodges Ferry, Primrose Sands and Midway point are among some areas to the east which have grown steadily over the past few years to cater to this increasing population. Close to beaches, and with a relaxed rural atmosphere, these and similar towns are near the major shopping centres yet provide a calm and serene lifestyle away from the madding crowd.
Take the short detour from Sorell and visit these growing towns and enjoy the beaches, parks and environment.
