Kimberley is a rural locality and town in the local government areas of Meander Valley and Kentish in the Launceston and North-west and west regions of Tasmania. The locality is about 39 kilometres (24 mi) north-west of the town of Westbury. The 2016 census has a population of 149 for the state suburb of Kimberley.[1] It is about midway between the towns of Sheffield and Deloraine. Once a thriving village with a school, railway station, shops and two churches, it is now a collection of houses with one church (St Michael and All Angels Anglican Church) remaining.
There are clear springs running all year in the area. The White Rock Vineyard is close to the township. There is also an olive grove. The area is known for its dairy farms, beef breeding and fattening, prime lamb production, some cropping and irrigation.
