Village:
Set along Tunnack Road, Mount Seymour settled in 1828 and was given the name of 'Blue Hills'. The origin of the name Blue Hills is said to be accounted for by the mountains' unbelievably blue appearance when viewed from a distance on a sunny day. The name was changed to Mount Seymour in 1840 by early surveyors in the region who suggested the change. Mount Seymour has a rich farming history dating back to the 1840s, when the Wilson family settled in the area. A bus school services commute to Oatlands or Campania, and Australia post is delivered. 'Ashfield' is only a 15-minute drive south of Oatlands, 50 minutes to the Tasmanian east coast township of Orford and a little over 1 hours' drive to the Hobart CBD.
