Welcome to St Helens, the 2018 host of triple j's One Night Stand!

St Helens is two and a half hours from Launceston by car. It’s the biggest town on Tasmania’s East Coast with a population of about 2,500. The traditional owners of the land are the Kunnarra Kuna group of the Pyemmairrener people.

There are as-yet-unconfirmed claims floating around that St Helens is ‘the Gold Coast of Tasmania’, with a lot of St Helens’ best activities centred around the water and its pristine white sandy beaches. In the words of St Helens’ esteemed Mayor and woodchopping champion axeman, Mick Tucker: “St Helens is the action capital of Tasmania — with our water sports, game fishing and walking trails, and now the 2018 One Night Stand!”

What can I see?

According to Lonely Planet, The Bay of Fires is considered one of the ‘world’s hottest travel destinations’ and is home to some of Australia’s most beautiful beaches. Instagram picture this: white sand, crystal-clear water, bright orange boulders and untamed bush. And if you’re a fan of leaving footprints in things and potentially axing yourself whilst rolling downwards, look no further than the beautiful Peron Dunes.

When it comes to live music, there aren’t too many options right now, but Mayor Mick Tucker (AKA The Axeman) thinks St Helens feat. One Night Stand could be one of the hottest musical collaborations of 2018. “This concert will not only bring the young people of St Helens together but also give them a huge sense of pride in our little town. We might be small, but this just shows we punch above our weight.”

Famous locals

Some of St Helens most notable human exports include punk rock heroes Luca Brasi. The quartet was founded in Australia’s Littlest State and have gone on to become one of Tassie’s loudest, most auditorily pleasing voices. In terms of famous non-humans, word on certain Greek mythology-themed streets is that there’s been Tasmanian Tiger sightings in the area, so be sure to keep several eyes out.
