Pieman River
The Pieman River is a river on the West Coast of Tasmania, Australia.
It was dammed with the high Reece Dam in 1986 - creating Lake Pieman.
==Name==
The once-common suggestion that it was named after a convict "The Pieman" Alexander Pearce who was responsible for one of the few recorded instances of cannibalism in Australia, is not correct. "The Pieman" was in fact Thomas Kent of Southampton, a pastry-cook who was transported to Van Diemen's Land in 1816. After a long series of offences in the colony, he was sent to the Macquarie Harbour Penal Station in 1822 but subsequently escaped, and was recaptured near the mouth of the river which now bears his nickname.〔 Sprod, Alexander Pearce of Macquarie Harbour (1977), pp106-18〕 The river has significant timber, mining and industrial heritage along its shores.
