Protected area in Tasmania, Australia
Oyster Cove is a semi-rural locality in the local government areas (LGA) of Kingborough and Huon Valley in the Hobart and South-east LGA regions of Tasmania . The locality is about 20 kilometres (12 mi ) south-west of the town of Kingston . The 2016 census has a population of 319 for the state suburb of Oyster Cove.[1]
History
[ edit ]
Oyster Cove was gazetted as a locality in 1968.[2]
It was originally a convict station .[3] In 1847, 47 Aboriginal Tasmanians that had survived forced removal from the Tasmanian mainland to Wybalenna, Flinders Island , were moved to Oyster Cove.[4] The locality was returned to the indigenous people of Tasmania in 1995 under the Aboriginal Lands Act 1995 ,[5] and in 1999 Oyster Cove was declared an Indigenous Protected Area .[6]
Oyster Cove Post Office opened in 1897 and closed in 1924. It re-opened in 1927 and closed in 1964.[7]
In 1894, teacher Lily Poulett-Harris established the first woman's cricket league in Australia at Oyster Cove, The Oyster Cove Ladies Club.[8]
Geography
[ edit ]
The shore of the D’Entrecasteaux Channel forms the eastern boundary.[9]
Road infrastructure
[ edit ]
The Channel Highway (Route B68) passes through from north to south. Route C626 (Nicholls Rivulet Road) starts at an intersection with B68 and runs west until it exits.[2] [10]
