George Town

George Town combines a working maritime character with a quiet historic streetscape in a way that reflects its position at the mouth of Tasmania’s Tamar River. On the river’s eastern bank, the town faces the broad Tamar estuary before it reaches Bass Strait, linking northern Tasmania with the sea. Founded in 1804, George Town is regarded as one of Australia’s earliest European settlements. Nearby Low Head marks the northern side of the river entrance; its lighthouse, first lit in 1833, remains a familiar coastal landmark. The town also provides a base for exploring the Tamar Valley’s vineyards and the beaches and headlands of the north coast.
