On our island, at the bottom of the world, lies a westward road. At the end of an imposing mountain landscape, this road descends into a valley. In this valley lies our town, our people. Queenstown: a place within a wilderness, a wilderness within its people.

By road

The remote West Coast of lutruwita/Tasmania is reached by a stunning wilderness drive via the Lyell or Murchison Highways. Allow at least 4 hours to drive to the region from Launceston or Hobart.
