Bank of Tasmania - a photo on Flickriver

Bank of Tasmania

There was a time when Tasmania had its own bank. Well technically it still does, as some institutions have received banking licenses in more recent times, but the Bank of Tasmania was originally founded in 1845. It was later swallowed up into the gigantic Commonwealth Bank of Australia.

Now this quaint old 19th century bank building - original sign still in place - is a shop dealing in the local arts and crafts. It stands, as you can see, within a stone's throw of the old Beaconsfield gold mine.

Alas, I have some bad news to pass on in relation to banks in Beaconsfield. In the modern building to the right of the Bank of Tasmania stood the home of the only remaining bank in Beaconsfield. One of those institutions I mentioned at the beginning: Bank of Heritage Isle.

On May 8, 2020, this bank closed its doors and all of its branches in Tasmania. And so now little Beaconsfield is without any banking facilities.

Such is the way of life for rural towns in this obnoxious era of conglomerates and Globalisation! You'd think there was a "plan" to get us all to move to cities wouldn't you.
