Fingal:- a township in the parish of Fingal and south of Cornwall, on the southern side of the South Esk. It is 100 miles from Hobart and 70 from Launceston. The road from Campbell Town to the east coast passes through it. On the banks of the Esk in this district are many fine farms, as well as tracts of pasture land. There is a resident police magistrate and a post station at Fingal , and two inns. There are 877 persons in the township and district, and 134 houses. About 15 miles beyond Fingal the road has been carried with immense labour, to a distance of 3 miles round the face of high, rocky, and almost perpendicular hills, called St Mary's pass. On one side the hill towers above the traveller, and on the other he sees a precipice of many hundred feet. Gold has been discovered at a place called Tower Hill between Fingal and Ben Lomond. Sorry no records of number of convicts there.
