Newstead really is a great place to live. You are able to walk into town and with no hills it only takes 15 minutes easy walking to get there. But the Newstead Shopping Complex means you really don't need to venture into the CBD unless you want to. You have a supermarket, medical centre, hotel, Thai Restaurant and bank so that all the essentials are covered. Add to this some of the best schools in Launceston you really do have a great family suburb.

Named after John Edington Cameron who owned the land. He and Major Hobart Wood built many houses in this area. As happens sometimes, the spelling has changed and on this occasion with the extra 'd' when the nameplate was put up in the 1920's.

"Jack" Cameron was born in the U.K. and spent some time in Shanghai with the British Tobacco Company. He then settled at Gravelly Beach where he had an orchard. He set up a toy factory on the corner of Eddington Crescent and Invermay Road. This was part of a subdivision known as Berwick Park, earlier the home of Robert McKenzie.

The family name Edington came from a Captain Eddington who was master of a ship which in the 1850's laid a cable down the coast of Brazil, in recognition of which the President of Brazil granted the captain a crest, which still adorns his grave in Scotland.

Longford is a great place to live and has a lot to offer. A great shopping centre with Medical Centre, Hospital, Chemists, supermarket (new supermarket being built at present), butcher shop, BWS, Commonwealth Bank, Newsagent, vets, Churches, Primary school, (bus service to Launceston Schools), great pubs and with some great restaurants there is no reason to head to town. Village Green with playground for smaller children, Skate Park for the older kids. Great place to ride a bike or walk. Ski the south Esk in the summer or just stroll the banks of the mill dam. Twenty minutes to Launceston, 1 Hour to the ski field or to the Highlands for fishing.

Legana is a great place to purchase only 10 minutes from Launceston. Has a great shopping complex close to the Tamar River and is located along the West Tamar Wine Route.

Invermay is the closest suburb directly north of the city of Launceston with much of it within walking distance to the CBD. Most of the cottages and houses were built between 1890 and 1930 and the vast majority are character weatherboard/galvanized iron roof homes.

Only ten years ago Invermay had a high percentage of rental properties but over the past few years many homes have been renovated and are lived in by their owners. The suburb is flat which appeals to the elderly, has Heritage Forest which appeals to those who love walking with their dogs and the families who love to walk to Aurora Stadium to watch one of the four AFL football games played each year.

There are still some excellent investment opportunities with rents climbing quickly over the past couple of years and there are still some “renovator’s delights” for the young trades people.
