Branxholm, Tasmania
Branxholm is a small town in northeastern Tasmania. Located 93 km north east of Launceston on the Tasman Highway.
Branxholm is a typical north-east Tasmania timber town nestled into the rolling hills. It is notable for its saw mills and its hop fields. It has a sprawling street pattern which makes the small town spread across the valley floor.
==History==
The area was first settled by James Reid Scott who named it after a small village in his native Scotland. By 1870 there were only three buildings in the valley but three years later, with the discovery of tin, a shanty town had grown up. By 1877 the population was around 300. By 1883 the town had been proclaimed. Branxholm Post Office opened on 1 August 1876.
Tin mining gradually declined to be replaced by timber cutting and in 1970 the first hop fields were planted.
