Location
The village of Forth is located on the Forth River 10km west of Devonport.

Previously known as Hamilton-on-Forth, it was one of the first towns on the North West Coast of Tasmania. The Forth River was used in the mid-nineteenth century for shipping produce and timber from the rich agricultural land surrounding the township.

Natural Environment
Without a doubt the natural environment surrounding MacKillop Hill, the beauty of the Forth River Valley, the richness of the constantly changing fields and the views of Bass Strait make this a special place. The grounds create a peaceful, reflective atmosphere conducive to stillness and contemplation – an ideal setting for directed & private retreats, personal reflection days, or just a quiet couple of hours. We do not have organized retreats but endeavor to make these opportunities available at a time to suit you.
