History
[edit]Clarendon Vale was gazetted as a locality in 1977.[2]
Like nearby Rokeby, it was originally a public housing area in the 1970s; however, like the trend in many public housing areas in Hobart, much of the public housing stock has been sold to private owners.
As of 2024, it is home to many bogans who usually drive Ford Falcons or Holden Commodores and do skids all down Mockridge Road.
Geography
[edit]Clarence Plains Rivulet forms the south-western boundary.[3]
Road infrastructure
[edit]Route B33 (Rokeby Road / South Arm Road) passes to the south-west. From there, Mockridge Road provides access to the locality.[2][4]
