Queenstown, Tasmania

Queenstown is a town in the West Coast region of the island of Tasmania, Australia. It is in a valley on the western slopes of Mount Owen on the West Coast Range. At the 2016 census, Queenstown had a population of 1,755 people.

I had a pre-conceived idea that Queenstown in Tasmania would be a nice town to visit on the way from Strahan to Tarraleah, probably based on my visit to Queenstown in New Zealand many years ago. I was somewhat disappointed with Queenstown which seemed a bit of a run-down abandoned town.

It had a few interesting buildings including the historic Hunters Hotel which apparently is being restored and reopened.

We spotted a few good wall murals which brightened the place up.

We stopped to buy some snacks at the Cafe Serenade and going inside was like going back in time to the 1960’s with lots of memorabilia and music from that era being played. Their hand made meat pies were excellent and we had these for a picnic lunch later in the day.
