George Town, nestled at the mouth of the picturesque Tamar Valley, offers a unique blend of history and natural experiences. It's Australia's third oldest European settlement, and highlights include visiting the Watch House Museum, which includes a model village of the town in the 1850s, the Bass and Flinders Centre – home of the replica Norfolk, The Grove – a splendid Georgian home dated circa 1830, and the self-guided George Town Heritage Trail tour of the historical sites and buildings in George Town and Low Head.
Beautiful beaches, bountiful fishing spots (with launching ramps), and sports facilities abound, including a 9-hole golf course, swimming centre, bowls clubs and sports oval.

The George Town Visitor Information Centre is on the Main Road at the south entrance to George Town (Tel/Fax (03) 6382 1700, email This e-mail address is being protected from spam bots, you need JavaScript enabled to view it ).
