It is on the waterway of the same name, just off Bass Strait, 20 km east of Devonport and close to Shearwater and Hawley Beach. It borders the Rubicon Estuary, which has been identified by BirdLife International as an Important Bird Area because of its importance for waders, especially pied oystercatchers.[1] HistoryThe area was named Panatana by local Aborigines. The town was originally a fishing and sealing port named Burgess, however the name was officially changed to Port Sorell (after Governor Sorell) in 1822. The town could have been a lot larger than it is now, had it not been for bushfires, after which nearby Devonport grew to become a major port. At the {{CensusAU|2016}}, Port Sorell had a population of 2,022.[2] Today Port Sorell is one of many popular holiday spots along the north coast of Tasmania. The first Port Sorell Post Office opened on 1 February 1845 and closed in 1863. The current office opened on 3 July 1944.[3] References1. ^{{cite web |url=http://www.birdata.com.au/iba.vm |title=IBA: Rubicon Estuary |accessdate=2011-09-01 |work= Birdata |first= |last= |publisher=Birds Australia |date=}} {{commons category-inline|Port Sorell, Tasmania}}2. ^1 {{Census 2016 AUS|id=SSC60511|name=Port Sorell (State Suburb)|accessdate=22 July 2017|quick=on}} 3. ^{{Cite web | last = Premier Postal History | title = Post Office List | publisher = Premier Postal Auctions | url = https://www.premierpostal.com/cgi-bin/wsProd.sh/Viewpocdwrapper.p?SortBy=Tas&country= | accessdate = 16 June 2012}} Further reading
