Derby is about 104 kilometres (65 miles) north-east of Launceston.
Mountains, rainforests and old tin mines surround this classified historic town. In the late 1800s it was a booming mining settlement and at the Derby Tin Mine Centre you can pan for a bit of raw tin - metal we use every day of the week without thinking about where it comes from.
Derby still has the feeling of a pioneer town, and you explore the quaint shops for antiques, second hand books and modern crafts. Then discover for yourself that Blue Lake really is blue; take a long walk or paddle a canoe on Cascade Dam to sharpen your appetite for a homemade afternoon tea in one of Derby’s cafes.
In October each year, you can enjoy the madcap Derby River Derby - a river race with very different rules.
