Low Head is five kilometres north of George Town on the north coast of Tasmania. Located on the eastern side of the Tamar River, this small town is home to Australia’s oldest continuously operating pilot station.
A wildlife water haven
Tamar is a haven for waterbirds. Stroll the boardwalks to Tamar Island and see birds in their natural habitat. Walk through Notley Gorge's fern glades and rainforest to crashing waterfalls. At Low Head, fairy penguins return each evening to their burrows while, offshore, fur seals bask on the rocks.
