Raminea is a rural locality in the local government area (LGA) of Huon Valley in the South-east LGA region of Tasmania. The locality is about south of the town of Huonville. The 2016 census recorded a population of 47 for the state suburb of Raminea.[1]
Raminea was gazetted as a locality in 1966. The name is believed to be an Aboriginal word for what is now called “Port Espérance”, the bay at the mouth of the Espérance River.[2]
Almost all of the boundaries are ridgelines. The Espérance River flows through from north-west to south-east.
Route A6 (Huon Highway) passes through the south-east corner of the locality.[2] [3]
