Hobart 's Eastern Shore, located approximately 6 kilometres from the City Centre and is part of the municipalCity of Clarence .The suburb takes its name from "Lindisfarne House", a property built in the 1820s near the suburb of Rosny. At one time the suburb was known as Beltana, but, because of confusion with Bellerive, it was renamed Lindisfarne. The easternmost part of the middle of the suburb, where the Beltana Bowls Club and the Beltana Hotel are located, is still locally known as Beltana.
Lindisfarne is centred around a bay of the same name that is one of many such sheltered anchorages on the Derwent River. The bay is home to a number of clubs that cater for rowing, sailing and motor-cruising the local waterways. The Lindisfarne Motor Yacht Club (pictured), The Lindisfarne Sailing Club and the Lindisfarne Rowing Club (the club of rowers
Scott Brennan andStephen Hawkins ) are all situated on the bay's foreshore. In addition there is also a large recreation park which includes playing fields, tennis courts and a memorial park, all situated on a bluff overlooking the Derwent River and Mount Wellington. The memorial park is also the site of a large Tasmanian Aboriginalmidden .Lindisfarne is also home to a number of large retirement villages and similar senior-citizen accommodations.
