Cadbury's products were first imported into Australia as early as 1853 when 3 cases of Cadbury's cocoa and chocolate were advertised for sale in [[Adelaide]].<ref>{{cite web |url=http://nla.gov.au/nla.news-article38465051 |title=Advertising – South Australian Register (Adelaide, SA : 1839 – 1900) – 8 Feb 1853 |newspaper=South Australian Register |date=8 February 1853 |access-date=14 April 2017 |archive-date=29 July 2020 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20200729170652/https://trove.nla.gov.au/newspaper/article/38465051 |url-status=live }}</ref> Cadbury's first overseas order in 1881 was made for the Australian market. In 1919, as part of its plans to expand internationally, the company decided to build a factory in Australia. Tasmania was chosen as the location of Cadbury's first factory outside of the United Kingdom, due to its close proximity to the city of [[Hobart]], good source of inexpensive hydro-electricity and plentiful supply of high-quality fresh milk. [[Cadbury's Chocolate Factory, Tasmania|Cadbury's Claremont]] was modelled on Bournville, with its own village and sporting facilities.<ref>{{cite web |url=https://www.cadbury.com.au/about-cadbury/cadbury-in-australia.aspx |title=Cadbury in Australia |first=Icon.Inc – |last=www.iconinc.com.au |access-date=14 April 2017 |archive-date=15 February 2017 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20170215055758/https://cadbury.com.au/About-Cadbury/Cadbury-in-Australia.aspx |url-status=live }}</ref><ref>{{cite web |url=http://nla.gov.au/nla.news-article11474954 |title=NEW INDUSTRY FOR TASMANIA CHOCOLATE AND COCOA FACTORY. – CLAREMONT SITE CHOSEN.

Cadbury's Claremont was once a popular tourist attraction and operated daily tours; however, the factory ceased running full tours mid-2008, citing health and safety reasons.<ref>{{cite web |title=Cadbury Chocolate Factory Hobart |url=http://www.tripadvisor.com/Attraction_Review-g255097-d256542-Reviews-Cadbury_Chocolate_Factory-Hobart_Tasmania.html |access-date=2 September 2009 |archive-date=28 August 2009 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20090828102800/http://www.tripadvisor.com/Attraction_Review-g255097-d256542-Reviews-Cadbury_Chocolate_Factory-Hobart_Tasmania.html |url-status=live }}</ref>
