Overview

Low Head sits on a peninsula at the mouth of the Tamar River, just 5 km north of George Town in Tasmania’s Launceston region. The rural residential setting offers a relaxed coastal lifestyle, with wide, unspoiled beaches popular for snorkelling and scuba diving, a historic lighthouse and the only operable Chance Brothers “Type G” foghorn that sounds at noon each Sunday. A colony of little penguins adds to the natural appeal, and the nearby Low Head Pilot Station Maritime Museum celebrates the area’s seafaring heritage.

Access to the suburb is provided by Route A8 (Low Head Road), which runs south‑west to north‑west and ends within the locality. The George Town Aerodrome lies inside the boundary, offering convenient air‑travel options. Housing is a mix of rural residential properties that benefit from proximity to the waterfront and surrounding natural landmarks such as Slippers Hill and Potato Hill.
