Grassy suburb profile
Grassy is a small coastal settlement on King Island in Bass Strait, defined by its rugged shoreline, windswept pastures and a quietly rural way of life. Housing is low-density and straightforward, reflecting the suburb's working origins and island conditions, and local services are limited so residents often look to the larger township of Currie for broader shopping and amenities. Life in Grassy revolves around farming, fishing and the outdoors, with easy access to beaches, walking country and a pace that suits people after solitude, practical self-reliance and a close community on an isolated island landscape.
