Overview

Oonah is a rural locality spanning the Burnie and Waratah‑Wynyard councils in Tasmania’s North West. Situated roughly 38 km south‑west of Burnie, the area is defined by the Hellyer River, which forms its south‑western boundary and the scenic Hellyer Gorge at its southern tip. The 2016 census recorded no permanent residents, underscoring its open, undeveloped character.

Despite its isolation, Oonah is well‑served by road; the A10 Murchison Highway traverses the locality from the north‑east to the south, and Route C101 (Oonah Road) links the highway to the south‑east. The surrounding landscape includes nearby natural landmarks such as Scolyers Hill and Hellyer Trig, offering a tranquil setting for those seeking a countryside lifestyle. Housing is limited, reflecting the locality’s primarily natural, unpopulated environment.
