Strahan

Once a rich and bustling harbour port, this now sleepy fishing village is full of stories from the times of convicts and pioneers.

Gone are the days of heavy timber and mining exports, and these days, shipwrecks at Hell’s Gates are few and far between. You can still explore the legacy left behind though, with experiences such as cruising the Gordon River and exploring the convict heritage of Sarah Island, and the West Coast Wilderness Railway, which journeys through time to tell a fascinating mining story.

More recently, Strahan’s industrial heritage gave way to activists and conservation and the 1980s saw the infamous Franklin-Below-Gordon Dam blockade which saw the eventual protection of the Tasmanian World Heritage Wilderness Area and the protection of the Gordon River region.

When visiting Strahan enjoy the long stretches of wild ocean (nothing between you and South America), visit sand dunes, learn more about its history and explore the wilderness, all at your fingertips.
