context_page_description: Mowbray is a suburb of Launceston in the Australian state of Tasmania and is the site of Mowbray Racecourse, home of the Launceston Cup. Mowbray also contains the minor suburbs of Mowbray Heights and Vermont. The suburb of Mowbray is located on a flat-topped, alluvial shelf, known as Mowbray Hill, roughly 28m above the Tamar River and its flood plains.
context_section_description: Suburban development did not begin in Mowbray until the late 1800s when a small grid of streets was laid out on the southern slopes of the hill on the eastern side of Invermay Road and Button Street extending towards Launceston Church Grammar School. 
  After WW1 more streets were added north of Button Street and Vermont Road, forming a crude grid extending north towards Newnham, east towards the racecourse and west towards the escarpment where the hill drops into the Tamar River. These streets were named after allied soldiers and commanders who took part in the war such as Haig Street.
