About Royal George
Royal George is a small rural locality in north-eastern Tasmania, situated approximately 90 kilometres north of Hobart near the town of Avoca in the Break O'Day district. The locality covers around 572 square kilometres of highland farming and bushland country and recorded a population of approximately 59 residents at the 2021 Census. The area is set in the elevated Midlands plateau, featuring open sheep and cattle grazing properties on the northern slopes of the Great Western Tiers.
Avoca, approximately 15 kilometres to the north-east, provides a general store and limited community services, while Campbell Town (roughly 40 kilometres to the south) and Launceston offer more comprehensive facilities. The surrounding countryside features the dramatic escarpments of the Great Western Tiers, trout fishing rivers, and the typical open farmland of the Tasmanian Midlands. A private vehicle is essential as no public transport serves Royal George.
