Tunnack is a rural locality in the local government area of Southern Midlands in the Central region of Tasmania. It is located about south-east of the town of Oatlands. The 2016 census determined a population of 178 for the state suburb of Tunnack.[1]
Tunnack was gazetted as a locality in 1974. The name is an Aboriginal word for “cold”.[2]
The Coal River forms much of the northern and western boundaries.
The C312 route (Tunnack Road / New Country Marsh Road) enters from the north and runs through to the south-east, where it exits. Route C342 (Eldon Road) starts at an intersection with C312 and runs south-west until it exits.[2] [3]
