| 説明 | Along the banks of the Derwent, the re-located settlers from Norfolk Island settled here in 1807. Some had been members of the 1788 first fleet to Botany Bay. Nine “first fleeters” are buried in the Methodist Chapel in New Norfolk. The town has one of Australia’s oldest Anglican Churches, St Matthews built in 1823 and the oldest continuously licensed pub, the Old Bush Inn Hotel, first licensed in 1815. ( The oldest existing church in Australia is St Matthew’s Anglican at Windsor designed by convict architect Francis Greenway and opened for services in 1820. St John’s of Parramatta opened in 1819 but was demolished and re-built in 1852. St Luke’s of Liverpool opened in 1824 as did St James of King Street, Sydney).The area, especially Ellendale near Mt Field, produces much of Australia’s hop crop. One old oast house for drying the hops is now a café on the outskirts of New Norfolk. Hops were taken to VDL by Paterson to the Launceston district in 1804 but hops were not successfully grown on a commercial basis until 1816 and harvested in 1818.Hops were not grown for brewers until 1829. Governor Arthur gave land grants of 200 acres to men willing to grow hops commercially. The hop industry was well established by the 1840s. Local industries today include a nearby salmon hatchery and since 1941 newspaper pulp mills. In the 1920s wooden cloths pegs were made here too! Timber felling is still an industry in the district, as is antiques and tourism. |
