Pipers River has become a popular country area for those looking for an alternative to city or town living. It is only 15 minutes to George Town, 30 minutes from the city of Launceston and 10-15 minutes' drive to access some of the most beautiful beaches in the country. There are various wineries and vineyards in the area and it is also well known for its high grade cattle breeding. The "Pipers River" for which the area is named after snakes its way through the countryside and you will often see many a keen angler trying their luck with the trout and native blackfish that inhabit the waterways.
