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.

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 four hours to drive to the region from Launceston or nipaluna/Hobart. For stories, stops and things to do on your westward journey, visit Discover Tasmania, Western Wilds.
