Woolmers Estate is a farming property in Longford, Tasmania, founded in 1817 by prominent grazier and parliamentarian Thomas Archer on an 82-hectare site. The complex comprises a brick and weatherboard homestead built in 1819, augmented by an extensive Italianate addition designed by William Archer and constructed in 1842–1843, along with a coach house, convict cottages, formal gardens, and the National Rose Garden. From its completion through 1994, it served as a principal ancestral seat of the Archer family. Listed on the Tasmanian Heritage Register, Woolmers was inscribed on the Australian National Heritage List in 2007 alongside Brickendon Estate for its significance to the colonial convict system, and subsequently became part of the World Heritage-listed Australian Convict Sites in 2010, recognized as among the world's finest surviving examples of large-scale convict transportation and European colonial expansion.
