St Helens is the largest town on the north-east coast of Tasmania, Australia, on Georges Bay.

Georges Bay Post Office opened on 1 April 1869 and was renamed "St Helen's" in 1882.

[4] The first European to explore the St Helens area was Captain Tobias Furneaux who sailed up the coast in 1773.

Slowly the port changed so that today it has a major fishing fleet which is supported by boat building, ships chandlery and other ancillary activities.

It featured Vance Joy, Peking Duk, Middle Kids, Alex the Astronaut and The Sleepyheads.

[5] Notable residents of St. Helens include Lee Hartney from The Smith Street Band & Tom Busby from Luca Brasi.

[6] 35 km to the west is Mount Victoria Forest Reserve near the 90-metre (295 ft) high St Columba Falls.

[7] Being on the east coast, St Helens' winter temperatures are warmer than most parts of Tasmania due to the foehn effect.
