Overview

Waratah is a small Tasmanian town of 249 residents (2021 census) perched atop a waterfall in the North West, a legacy of its 19th‑century tin‑mine origins at Mount Bischoff. The community enjoys a distinctive lifestyle shaped by a cold, oceanic climate, cloudy, misty days with summer highs often under 10 °C and frequent winter snow, making it one of the state’s coolest and wettest locales. Historic charm remains evident in the town’s layout, which was originally built to supply water for mine sluicing and was the first Australian settlement lit by electric streetlights in 1886.
