Strahan - Tours and Activities

The West Coast of Tasmania is a wild, scenic, wonderful place. Much of the wilderness has been preserved and can be accessed easily. The visitor of today can follow in the footsteps of the 1800's miners and piners, the tough breed of mining and logging men who opened up the coast and settled the village of Strahan (pronounced "Strawn"). Nowadays, Strahan is the gateway to the West Coast Tasmanian Wilderness and the home of the Gordon River Cruise and the ABT Wilderness Railway.

There are a number of Gordon River Cruises leaving Strahan, and it is important to select the best one available.
