Strickland lies in a broad, sweeping valley, cradled by the gentle, rounded shoulders of the Central Highlands. It lies 79.7 km north-west of Hobart, TAS (from Hobart, TAS: bearing 316°T), and is situated 57.0 km north-west of New Norfolk. The land here is a patchwork of emerald pastures and the muted greens of eucalypt woodlands, interspersed with darker, richer hues where the soil has been turned for cultivation. Creeks, silver threads in the landscape, meander through the meadows, their banks often fringed with a dense growth of native grasses and hardy wattles that rustle secrets to the passing breeze. The air, especially in the early mornings, carries a clean, crisp scent of damp earth and the subtle perfume of eucalyptus, a balm to the lungs after a long journey. Sunlight often plays across the hills in broad strokes, casting deep shadows that lend a sense of ancient permanence to the terrain, and the quality of light at dusk, a soft, diffused glow, seems to linger, painting the western sky in shades of rose and lavender.
The character of Strickland is deeply entwined with the pastoral heritage of Tasmania, its economy historically shaped by the wool and meat industries that continue to define the region. Sheep graze in quiet contentment across the rolling hills, their fleeces catching the light like scattered pearls. While farming remains the backbone, a growing appreciation for the region's natural beauty has begun to draw a different kind of visitor, those seeking the quietude and robust landscapes that Strickland offers. Old farmhouses, their stone walls weathered by decades of sun and rain, stand as stoic reminders of the early settlers who carved a life from this land, their stories whispered on the wind that sweeps across the open country. There is a tangible sense of continuity here, a quiet unfolding of time that is mirrored in the slow, deliberate pace of life in Strickland.
