the country
Tasmanian Country has long-served the island’s farming and agricultural community as
Tasmania’s only truly statewide paper, delivered every Friday to regional readers in the
island’s rural heartland, as well as its remotest reaches, from King Island’s dairy farmers in
the windswept Bass Strait, to Southport’s fisheries in the deep south of the Huon Valley.
The paper also boasts an entirely unique distribution method, with over 83% of circulation sent directly to primary producers and working farms via Australia Post - reaching
several localities untouched by newsagent footprints, and ensuring an extremely targeted
agricultural audience for advertisers.
The Country is especially popular across the state’s northern rural belt, with over 62% of
readership reaching Tasmania’s primary dairy, beef, lamb & wool producing regions, and is
also continuing to grow among the state’s emerging viticulture, ecotourism and fruit-growing sectors in the state’s southeast. Each edition features:
