Poppa's Boat Hire is a small family business which is owned and operated by father and son Graeme and Brayden Popowski. Both have a passion for fishing and spend almost every spare minute getting to the sunny East Coast, which is regarded as the fishing capital of Tasmania. They thought why not give people the same opportunity to get out there and catch some of the many species of fish and experience what the East Coast of Tasmania has to offer. ​At Poppa's Boat Hire they offer different services based on customer's needs, whether it be catching some of the many species of fish in George's Bay, exploring the famous Scamander River looking for those beautiful hard fighting Bream, or just a morning or afternoon adventure around the waters of the East Coast of Tasmania.

Green Island Tours Tasmania were and still are the only Tasmanian company arranging and conducting multi-day "touring style" bicycle tours in Tasmania. They offer good value for money whilst ensuring full attention to detail. Because of their location along the cycling route they have unmatched local knowledge. Offering different accommodation categories, all self-guided tours can be customised, supported tours are conducted on demand using a purpose-built, enclosed trailer. All bikes are fully serviced to a very high standard and are covered by RACT roadside assist. Different models are available, including hi-end custom-made touring bikes made in Germany.

Five minutes south of St Helens is the little township of Stieigletz which has its own beach on Georges Bay. Dog-friendly most of the time. Fishing from some of the jetties around here has resulted in some great catches. Generally calm and a great place to launch kayaks or wind surfers.
