About Taroona
Taroona, a southern suburb of Hobart * lies between the western shores of the lower Derwent estuary and the forested foothills of Mt Nelson and The Lea. Our elongated suburb of about 1400 households is bisected by the old Channel Highway.
Taroona residents enjoy the coastal environment which has three safe, sandy beaches, a shoreline track leading to the spectacular Alum Cliffs and many large blue gum (Eucalyptus globulus) trees which are brilliant with the calls and colours of wattle birds, Eastern and green rosella parrots and musk lorikeets.
Our schools are the Taroona Primary School and Taroona High School, and we also have many clubs and societies, a community hall, sporting facilities and parklands.
