has gloss | eng: The Midlands is a region of Tasmania between Launceston and Hobart. It also refers to the relatively flat, dry agricultural area , so named because it covers the region between of the two cities. Its name is probably also influenced from the Midlands in the United Kingdom. It lends its name to the Southern Midlands Council, Northern Midlands Council, and the Midland Highway. The region is sometimes conflated or confused with the adjacent region of the Central Highlands—with the added term Tasmania's heartland. |
