Eddystone is a rural locality in the local government area of Break O'Day in the North-east region of Tasmania. It is located about north of the town of St Helens. The 2016 census determined a population of nil for the state suburb of Eddystone.[1]
Eddystone is a confirmed suburb/locality.[2] Eddystone Point, the eastern extremity of the locality, supports a lighthouse and is known to Aboriginals as Larapuna. In 2006 the Tasmanian Government issued a 40-year lease for the Larapuna lands surrounding the lighthouse.[3]
The Tasman Sea forms the north-eastern, eastern and south-eastern boundaries.
The C846 route (Eddystone Point Road) enters from the west and runs through to Eddystone Point, where it ends.[2]
