Exeter is a small town approximately 24 kilometres north of the city of Launceston, Tasmania, Australia. At the 2006 census, Exeter had a population of 339.[1]
It is an important town agriculturally due to its positioning in the centre of a large rural area known for its orchards, dairy and beef cattle, fruit produce and sheep herds.
