History

[edit]

Alonnah was gazetted as a locality in 1955.[2]

Originally named Mill's Reef, it was renamed in the early 1900s after part of the Tasmanian Aboriginal name for Bruny Island, Lunawanna-alonnah (a nearby township a little to its south being named Lunawanna). Mill's Reef Post Office opened on 1 February 1905 and was renamed Alonnah in 1909.[3]

Geography

[edit]

The waters of the D'Entrecasteaux Channel form the western boundary.[4]

Road infrastructure

[edit]

Route B66 (Bruny Island Main Road) runs through from south-west to east.[2][5]
