StrahanHistorically Strahan has been a port to a small fishing fleet that braves the west coast conditions and Hell's Gates. Nowdays it's the port for Gordon River Cruises and other wilderness tours.
Pioneer MuseumThe Zeehan School of Mines and Metallurgy was established in 1892 and ran courses in geology, assaying and surveying. Today it has been converted into the Zeehan Museum.
Gordon River CruisesHow could any visit to Tasmania be complete without a cruise on the world-famous Gordon River? The fight to save this natural treasure in the early 1980's attracted international attention and support.
QueenstownThe mountains surrounding Queenstown have unusual pink and grey hues that come from the conglomerate rocks on the two most adjacent mountains - Mount Lyell and Mount Owen.
Wilderness RailwayThe West Coast Wilderness Railway is a steam train journey through mountainous Tasmanian wilderness from Queenstoen to Strahan and return. Tours depart daily.
Henty Dunes20 minutes drive south of Zeehan are the Henty Dunes. A vast expanse of sand dunes extending several kilometres inland. Pine plantations have attempted to stop the migration of the dunes inland.
Nelson FallsAlong the boardwalk to Nelson Falls you will come across interpretation panels highlighting the ancient plants you see along the way, including at least seven species of fern.
Montezuma FallsSituated just south of Rosebery, the car park near the old Williamsford township is the place to start. One of the best 3 hour walks on the West Coast should not be missed.
Ocean BeachOcean Beach is a long stretch of beach running north of Macquarie Heads and Hells Gates on the West Coast of Tasmania.
Macqaurie HeadsMaquarie Heads and Hell's Gates is the name of the mouth of Macquarie Harbour on the West Coast of Tasmania. It is a notoriously shallow and dangerous channel entrance to the harbour.
