Strahan

Strahan is the only town on the west coast of Tasmania and must be the most isolated place on the island.

Originally a base for the penal colony at Sarah Island in Macquarie Harbour, it became a port servicing the mining industry in the nearby towns of Zeehan and Queenstown.

Now, mainly a tourist town, there are plenty of things to do. You can take a cruise down the Gordon River, take a helicopter ride over the wilderness or take the tourist train to Queenstown.
