Cleveland
A
delightful historic village on the main road between Launceston and Hobart.
Located 51 km south of Launceston on the Midland
Highway, Cleveland is another charming, historic village on the main
road between Launceston and Hobart. It was established as a coaching
stop in 1842 and grew rapidly with the local houses being built out of
wattle and daub and the hotels, The Bald Faced Stag (1838) and St
Andrews Inn (1845), having a Georgian permanence and solidity.
At one time there was a plan to make Cleveland a
major centre along the highway but a poor water supply and substandard
soil ensured that the town did not grow.
Today Cleveland is a sleepy settlement. The two inns
still stand. It is worth noting that St Andrews Inn, a classic Georgian
Inn with plain brick broken by five bays with twelve-pane windows, was,
at its peak, a popular stopping point for bushrangers.
Both the town's inns have been converted - The
Bald Faced Stag is now a private residence and St Andrews Inn is a restaurant.
