George Town
George Town (Palawa_kani: kinimathatakinta) is a large town in north-east Tasmania, on the eastern bank of the mouth of the Tamar River, with a population of 6,764 as of 30 June 2016.
It is the regional centre of the George Town Council local government area and is well served with a Regional Hospital, supermarkets, and infrastructure.
The Grove, a Georgian home built in 1829, attracts many visitors, as does the 1805 convict built pilot station at Low Head.
The Bass and Flinders Centre has a collection of historical boats, including a replica of the 1798 sloop Norfolk.
The Watch House in Macquarie street built in 1843 was the town gaol. The building was refurbished and reopened in 2004 as a gallery and local history museum. It features a scale model of the town as it was in the early nineteenth century.
