Bothwell is the gateway to Tasmania’s central highlands and a fine example of Tasmania’s colonial heritage with more than 50 classified buildings. Settled by Scottish pioneer farmers in the early 1820s, the town retains an old-world charm with wide open streets and lovely 19th century buildings clustered around the trees and grass of Queens Park.
Bothwell is also home to Ratho, one of Australia’s oldest golf courses, laid in the mid-1830s. Today you can play Ratho’s nine holes with its square putting greens, and visit the Australasian Golf Museum. Bothwell is a good base for fishing or exploring Tasmania’s highlands.
Bothwell is a 1-hr drive (73 km) north-west of Hobart.
We acknowledge the Tasmanian Aboriginal people and their enduring custodianship of lutruwita / Tasmania. We honour 40,000 years of uninterrupted care, protection and belonging to these islands, before the invasion and colonisation of European settlement. As a destination that welcomes visitors to these lands, we acknowledge our responsibility to represent to our visitors, Tasmania’s deep and complex history, fully, respectfully and truthfully.
We acknowledge the Aboriginal people who continue to care for this country today. We pay our respects to their elders, past and present. We honour their stories, songs, art, and culture, and their aspirations for the future of their people and these lands. We respectfully ask that tourism be a part of that future.
