George Town is situated East of the Tamar River. It is one of Tasmania's oldest towns, and the first town settled in Northern Tasmania.
Two of northern Tasmania's largest industries are located in George Town, at nearby Bell Bay. Comalco operates Australia's oldest aluminium smelter, and Temco produces iron alloy products. You can take a tour through both plants which are open for public tours.
Recreational activities are a plenty in George Town and the surrounding areas. Apple and strawberry farms are located East of George Town at Lefroy, and also to the south. Pipers Brook vineyards, one of Tasmania's most recognised wine labels, are to the east of George Town. Self-guided walking tours of George Town give historical insights, and there is an art & craft market every second Sunday of the month.
