Sorell
Sorell, Hobart, AustraliaTel: +61 (0)3 6265 2201 (Sorell Council)
The township was founded in 1821 and until 1860 it supplied most of the grain in Van Diemen's Land. There are some interesting buildings from the colonial days including Scotts Church (1824), St George's Church (1826) and The Blue Bell Inn,(now colonial accommodation), built circa 1863. Sorell, had been established for only three years when the bushranger Matthew Brady, who had earlier escaped from Macquarie Harbour, captured the township, imprisoning the garrison soldiers and most of the citizens. He was hanged two years later. Sorell is on the road to the Tasman Peninsula.
