Deloraine is a charming, historically interesting and attractive town located on the banks of the Meander River 228 km north of Hobart, 48 km west of Launceston and 253 m above sea level.
This resulted in a dramatic increase in population which led to the town becoming a municipality in 1863 and, in 1872, a railway line between Deloraine and Launceston was constructed.The early settlers raised cattle and grew wheat but the climate was against them and they did not prosper.
To the south of the river is the original village of Alveston which was in existence before the larger settlement of Deloraine began to develop on the northern bank of the river.
Deloraine, at that time, was the centre of a large alternate life style population that in general were not contributors to the community, but carried with them many handcraft skills.
The Rotary Club of Deloraine is currently in the process of purchasing approximately 7 hectares of land on the western bank of the picturesque Meander River.
The township of Deloraine is landlocked with the nearest coastal areas some 50 kilometers away, but as Deloraine is the centre of a major rural community the number of farm dams, water storage facilities and streams is prolific.
