	Localities around Nugent:

Nugent is a rural locality in the local government areas (LGA) of Glamorgan–Spring Bay and Sorell in the South-east LGA region of Tasmania. The locality is about 18 kilometres (11 mi) north-east of the town of Sorell. The 2016 census has a population of 101 for the state suburb of Nugent.^[1]

It is notable for its local hall, in which many small gatherings occur for the locals only, maybe extending to nearby towns such as Sorell, Buckland and Dodges Ferry. It is a stereotypical "small country town", an ever-shrinking group of small establishments.

The other notable facts about Nugent include the fishery and game hunting property, Redbanks Fish and Field. Redbanks is a renowned wild fishery (the fish grow naturally in the lakes) and pheasant shooting location. People come from Britain, New Zealand, Europe and America for pheasant shooting and trout-fishing.
