Tinderbox is a rural residential locality in the local government area of Kingborough in the Hobart region of Tasmania. It is located about 13 kilometres (8.1 mi) south of the town of Kingston. The 2016 census has a population of 394 for the state suburb of Tinderbox.[1]
Tinderbox was gazetted as a locality in 1961. The locality is said to be named after a sterling silver tinderbox found on the beach in the 1830s.[2]
a silver tinderbox inscribed in French, an indication that some thirty years before early French expeditioners, perhaps with Baudin, maybe with Bruny D’Entrecasteaux, had visited this beach[3]
The C624 route (Tinderbox Road) enters from the north and runs south-west, south, east and north, thus completing almost a complete loop of the locality before exiting in the north-east.[2][5]
