History
[edit]Judbury is a confirmed suburb/locality. Previously known as Judds Creek after the first settler (in 1855) John Cane Judd, the current name has been in use since 1924.[2]
Geography
[edit]The Huon River forms most of the south-western boundary, before flowing through and forming part of the south-eastern boundary. The Russell River forms a small part of the south-western boundary before it empties into The Huon River.[3]
Road infrastructure
[edit]The C619 route (Glen Huon Road) enters from the south-east, crosses to the north side of the Huon River and enters the village. Here it turns south-east as North Huon Road and continues to the eastern boundary, where it exits.[2][4]
