Strahan has been purchased.

 From its beginnings as the base for bushmen seeking precious Huon pine, Strahan became the railway port for a rich copper mine inland. Deep in Macquarie Harbour south of Strahan, a notorious convict settlement was established on Sarah Island. Further south, the Gordon River flows through ancient Tasmanian rainforests into the harbour.

Strahan’s landscapes are wild and elemental – waves, weather and World Heritage Wilderness are the keynotes for this unique holiday destination.

Take a train ride into history on the West Coast Wilderness Railway and follow the tracks of miners and piners or experience mirror-perfect reflections on the Gordon River with Gordon River Cruises. Taste fresh local Tasmanian seafood or feel the power of Southern Ocean swells as you stroll along Ocean Beach - the choice is yours.
