It lies 13.1 km east-south-east of Devonport, TAS (from Devonport, TAS: bearing 112°T), and is situated 5.7 km east-north-east of Latrobe. The air here carries the clean, sharp scent of eucalypt and damp earth, particularly after a soft rain, and the sky often hangs a vast, pale blue canvas, sometimes streaked with the wispy trails of distant clouds. The land itself feels ancient, worn smooth by wind and water into gentle slopes that lead the eye towards the distant, hazy outline of the Great Western Tiers. Fences, weathered and silvered, define the patchwork of pastures, their posts standing like stoic sentinels against the open country.
The economy of Moriarty has long been tethered to the rich soil, with grazing and agriculture forming the backbone of its sustenance. Sheep and cattle dot the paddocks, their presence a quiet hum in the rural symphony. This land, once traversed by stockmen and settlers, now supports a community that values its connection to the earth, a lineage stretching back to early Tasmanian pioneering days. While not a bustling hub, Moriarty offers a sense of enduring stability, a place where the pace of life allows for a deeper appreciation of the surrounding natural beauty and the quiet satisfaction of a life lived close to the land.
