A breath taking area but it must be remembered that this is a wilderness area and prepare accordingly. At present there is only one provision store in the town which turned out to be the best IGA I've been in. Great steaks from the meat department !! At the moment petrol can only be purchased at the airport.
We had an excellent trip on the Gordon River Cruise,- plenty of information provided by tour guides and a tasty buffet lunch. The views have to be experienced, from the fish farms to the ruins of the convict's dwellings on Sarah Island and dispite the changeable weather it was a trip to remember.
After disembarking a visit to the Huon Pine saw mill with free demonstration is recommended.
Sadly, our hoped for trip on the Strahan/ Queenstown Wilderness Railway was fully booked. We should have booked in advance for this attraction as we had done for the river cruise. It should be noted that at the time of our visit (March 2024) part of the tracks were closed for repair and 2 trips were on offer, one originating in Strahan, the other shorter one is from Queenstown.
Although we self catered there were plenty of eateries available in the town.
