Carrick is a village on the Liffey River, steeped in the traditions of grain growing. Located midway between Launceston and Deloraine, the area became a principal grain growing region in the early 19th century.


Historic Sites

The local Mill, constructed in 1870 and now restored, bears testament to the Gold Grain Rush experienced by the village last century. A number of historic buildings may be of interest to the visitor, and include "Christies", a Georgian shop, and Hawthorne Villa which now serves as Colonial style accommodation. The Prince of Wales Hotel is now a private residence but is of interest nonetheless.

Galleries

Waterhouse once served as the local Gaol, but in its modern day capacity it is an art gallery housing displays from local artists in various media. The Copper Gallery displays a range of items fashioned from copper and brass, as well as other arts and crafts of interest such as jewellery and wall murals.

Kaeru Products specialise in porcelain pottery products and visitors are welcome to inspect the factory, showrooms and lovely gardens.
