St Helens
Located on the Tasman Highway, about 160 km east of Launceston, St Helens is the largest town on the north-east coast of Tasmania. It is known as the game fishing capital of Tasmania and is also renowned for its oysters (as are some other areas of Tasmania). In the early 2000s, the town was one of the fastest growing areas of Tasmania, and reached a population of 2049 at the 2006 census. A number of shops can be found in the town along Cecilia Street, such as a Supa IGA and Gallery Parnella. St Helens was first used as a whaling base in the early 19th century and when tin was discovered in the surrounding area in the 1870s, it became the shipping port for the mines. St Helens offers all the services of a busy town with a positively laid back vibe, and that's just the way the locals and visitors like it. There's no shortage of eateries and shops to hang out in and people watching is a favourite local pastime. One of the most famous spots of the area, the Bay of Fires, is more than just one location but rather a series of bays along the North East coastline. To get to the Bay of Fires head through the township of St Helens and along Binalong Bay Rd and just further up the road keep an eye out on your left for Gardens Rd. |
