Overview

Waratah is a small Tasmanian town of 249 residents (2021 census) perched atop a waterfall and bordered by Savage River National Park. Residents enjoy easy access to natural attractions such as Waratah Falls, Queens Park and Saunders Park, while the Waratah Museum offers a glimpse into the community’s mining heritage. The cool, wet climate brings frequent clouds, summer highs often under 10 °C and regular winter snow, creating a distinct outdoor lifestyle.

The town’s layout originated from its early 1880s tin‑mining boom, leaving a mix of historic workers’ homes and newer dwellings. Transport options include the nearby Waratah Airport and local roads that connect to the former Mount Magnet Tramway corridor. Waratah also prides itself on being the first Australian township with electric street lighting, installed in 1886, adding a historic touch to modern living.
