Midlands, Tasmania

The Midlands in Tasmania refers to the relatively flat, dry agricultural area between Launceston and Hobart, so named because it covers most of the middle of these two cities. Its name is probably also influenced from the Midlands in the United Kingdom.

It lends its name to the Municipality of Southern Midlands, Municipality of Northern Midlands, and the Midlands Highway.
