LOCATION
The property is in Green Valley Road, Bagdad’ simply take a left hand turn into Swan Street off the Midland Highway after you have passed the United service station at Bagdad before you start heading up Constitution Hill.
Bagdad is a small rural community 37 kilometres (23mi) north of Hobart, on the Midland Highway, in the south-east of Tasmania, Australia. At the 2001 census, the town had a population of 677. In the days of the horse and buggy, it was an important rest area and horse-changing place for those continuing their journey up Constitution Hill. It is now an area of orchards and small mixed farms and a commuter settlement.
The town was named by the explorer Hugh Germain, a private and well-educated member of the Royal Marines, who is said to have carried two books in his saddlebags while traveling, the Bible and the Arabian Nights, and he was renowned for naming places from these books.

A railway line connected the town with Hobart from 1891 until 1947.
