A mining town with over one hundred years of continuous mining, Queenstown is a popular tourist destination. The home of the West Coast Wilderness Railway and the infamous 'Gormy Hill', Queenstown offers a variety of unique sightseeing opportunities and accomodation choices including cottages, motel accomadation and caravan parks. Queenstown, Tasmania is an ideal overnight location on Tasmania's West Coast. It is the value alternative to Strahan, located only 40 kilometers away.

The major attraction is the rail journey on the reconstructed ABT train between Queenstown and Strahan on Tasmania's West Coast. It counts as one of the world's great railway journeys. Now called the West Coast Wilderness Railway, it runs through the spectacular rain-forested gorge of the King River.

In Queenstown you can take a mine tour, visit the Miners Siding, have fun on a 4WD tour, go bushwalking or fish at spectacular Lake Burbury. On the coast you will find wild ocean beaches, magnificent rainforest and the charming historic fishing village of Strahan with cruises on the beautiful Gordon River.
