Sorell

Sorell is a small town and suburb of Hobart in the southeast of the Australian state of Tasmania . It is located 33 km northeast of Hobart on Pitt Water Bay . The 2011 census counted 2,907 residents. The Tasman Highway (A3) runs through the city and the Arthur Highway (A9) branches off from it there.

Sorell Causeway

The city was previously known as a station on the Hobart to Port Arthur road on the Tasman Peninsula . In 1872 the Sorell Causeway was opened, a dam on which the Tasman Highway runs from Cambridge via Midway Point and which separates the Orielton Lagoon from Pitt Water . This significantly shortened the distance from Hobart to Port Arthur, which used to pass through Richmond .
