World Heritage Tasmania Area
Tasmania is Australia’s island State and is world-renowned for its unique wilderness areas. More than 40% of the State is protected in National Parks or reserves.
The island’s World Heritage-listed, Franklin-Gordon Wild Rivers and South West National Parks combine to protect one of the world’s last great temperate rainforests.
Lying on the West Coast of Tasmania, Strahan is squarely in the path of the famous ‘Roaring 40s’ wind belt, this remote region is accessible only to hikers or via the rivers that flow into and out of the area. The Gordon River provides the perfect gateway to this vast region for people seeking a more leisurely ‘wilderness experience’.
