Overview

Queenstown’s 2021 census recorded 1,808 residents with a median age of 47, offering a relaxed, close‑knit lifestyle framed by striking pink‑grey mountains and a very wet oceanic climate. The town’s heritage is visible along Orr Street, where the historic Post Office tower, Empire Hotel, Hunters Hotel and the Paragon Theatre sit beside modern cafés such as Broken Halo Coffee Kitchen, while the Queenstown Library and Mountain Heights School provide everyday community services.

Transport and tourism drive the local economy: the West Coast Wilderness Railway terminates at Queenstown railway station, linking visitors to Strahan, and the nearby Carswell Park Workshops keep the steam‑train legacy alive. A mix of historic housing, original miners’ homes, and newer accommodation supports a growing visitor base drawn to mountain‑bike trails, white‑water rafting, the iconic gravel football oval and the biennial Unconformity Festival.
