With a population of just over 200 residents, Derby offers a serene escape from the hustle and bustle of city life.

Visitors can also explore the lush surrounding forests, home to an abundance of native flora and fauna. The nearby Blue Tier Forest Reserve is a popular destination for hiking and mountain biking enthusiasts, with its network of scenic trails that wind through ancient trees and moss-covered boulders. History buffs will appreciate Derby's heritage as a former mining town, with remnants of its past evident in the well-preserved buildings and structures that dot the landscape. The Derby Schoolhouse Museum provides a fascinating glimpse into the town's mining history, showcasing artefacts and exhibits that tell the story of its early settlers and their struggles and triumphs. For those seeking adventure, Derby is a gateway to the world-renowned Blue Derby Mountain Bike Trails, a network of exhilarating tracks that wind through the rugged terrain of the Tasmanian wilderness.
