Low Head

Low Head is just a few klms from George Town and is a holiday place, well once it was, however, people live there now because as the roads became improved and towns bypassed the distance is not as far as it was way back.  The beach isn't much and you don't see that many people there even in the summer. The sea is Bass Strait. 

There is a lighthouse on a bit of a hill, can just see it in the photo.  Also there is a Pilot Station and Maritime Museum which is interesting.
The last photo is a home and one of the nicer ones over looking the sea.

Low Head, Tasmania, Australia

Went for a drive the other day was gone 5 hours.  Down one side of the Tamar River across the Batman Bridge and back down to the city of Launceston, Tasmania, Australia.

Low Head is at the mouth of the Tamar River, a small town with a small population.

My toes and my thong at Low Head.

A signal station was set up at Low Head in 1805.  It is Australia's oldest continuously used pilot station. The light house was built as in the tower 1883, but poorly constructed thus pulled down and another rebuilt in 1888.  These days it's unmanned but of course in use with all the modern workings.

Batman Bridge built between 1966 - 1968 was the first cable stayed bridge in Australia.

The grounds are lovely and green and many a camper is camped for free. Camping was not permitted once but obviously now it is!
