Zeehan

Once littered with many pubs, Zeehan is now a quieter affair that boasts some unique heritage architecture.

Like neighbouring towns across the West Coast region, Zeehan has seen her fair share of mining, with a boom in the 1900s that saw Zeehan become the third-largest town in Tasmania – and almost the capital city.

Nearby, check out Spray Tunnel, once a train tunnel used to transport silver from the Spray Silver Mine, now an abandoned 100 metre tunnel that a few hundred glow worms call ‘home’. The mine forms part of an easy one-hour loop, perfect for a morning off the bike but still managing a short leg stretch.

Not much farther afield are the villages or Trial and Granville Harbours, which are definitely worth a trip to visit their remote beaches and the Trial Harbour history room.
