Overview

Strahan is a compact coastal town on Tasmania’s west coast, with 634 residents recorded in the 2021 census. Originally a timber and mining port, it now relies on tourism, providing gateway access to the Franklin‑Gordon Wild Rivers World Heritage area, Sarah Island penal site and a modest fishing fleet that brave Hell’s Gates. The oceanic climate brings cool, damp summers and very rainy winters, creating a dramatic backdrop for outdoor recreation.

The town includes Strahan Airport, the only all‑weather commercial airport in Western Tasmania, and a harbour used for boat, plane and helicopter trips into the south‑west wilderness. Visitors can board the West Coast Wilderness Railway at nearby Regatta Point and enjoy performances by the Round Earth Theatre Company, which stages the long‑running play “The Ship That Never Was.” A blend of historic and newer homes reflects the community’s maritime heritage.
