West Coast Region (Tas)
Tasmania’s wild West Coast is characterised by dense rainforests, wild rivers and historic mining towns like Queenstown with its stark moonscape hills. Strahan offers cruises on the Gordon River, and the Wilderness Railway rattles through mountains. Residents admire a hidden mountain lake reachable only via an old miners’ track and gather at a pub decorated with shipwreck relics for live folk music.
West Coast Council has an approximate area of 9,900 km².
It is within the state electorate of Braddon.
