About Southport (Tas.)
Southport is a small township in far southern Tasmania; the southernmost township in Australia, Cockle Creek, is located further south, but it is not a gazetted town. The town had a population of 149 in 2021. It was settled in 1837 and grew to be the largest town south of Hobart; but a declining shipping industry slowly led to the town's shrinking population, and much of it has been destroyed by fire.
