Sheffield, Tasmania is unlike any other country town in Australia. Known as the Town of Murals, its streets have been transformed into an open-air gallery where history, community and art come together to tell the stories of the region. In this episode of GHI Travel Adventures, we explore the colourful murals that have made Sheffield one of Tasmania's most recognisable destinations, while also discovering the town's heritage buildings, local landmarks and fascinating history. Originally settled in 1859, Sheffield has long been the rural hub of the Mount Roland region and remains closely connected to Tasmania's rich agricultural heritage. In the 1980s, a visionary community project helped revive the town through public art, creating what is now one of Australia's most unique tourism experiences. Along the way we also uncover some lesser-known local stories, including A.G. (Alf) Rowe, the inventor of the world's first practical coin-operated petrol pump, and the replica hollow tree that once served as a rural mail collection point.
