Overview

Waddamana sits 64 km north of Hamilton in Tasmania’s Central Highlands, perched on the southern side of the Central Plateau. Once a bustling hydro‑town, today the locality is known for its crisp, often snowy climate and a quiet, outdoor‑focused lifestyle. The former power stations now include a museum, and several cottages, many used by visiting school groups for camps, provide rustic accommodation. A weekend coffee van, run by the town’s two permanent residents, offers homemade baked goods and adds a friendly gathering point for tourists and temporary wind‑farm workers who rent nearby houses.

Access to Waddamana is via Route C178 (Waddamana Road) running north‑south‑east and the connecting C177 (Bashan Road) to the south, with a small airport just 2.5 km away. The 2016 census recorded four residents, and the 2021 count showed none, reflecting its largely seasonal population and mixed housing that blends visitor cottages with short‑term rentals.
