Alcomie is a rural locality in the local government area of Circular Head in the North West region of Tasmania. It is located about south-east of the town of Smithton. The 2021 census recorded a population of 58 for Alcomie.
The locality was gazetted in 1959. Alcomie is the Aboriginal term for “beautiful view”.[1]
The western part of the locality is farmland, while the south-east remains heavily timbered.
The C219 route (South Road) enters from the north-east and runs west, south and north-west before exiting, where it turns south along the western boundary for a short distance. Route C220 (Johns Hill Road) starts at an intersection with route C219 on the western boundary and runs away to the west.[2]
