Strahan, a historic port town on Tasmania's rugged west coast, lies on the shores of Macquarie Harbour, 300 km northwest of Hobart. Established in the 1800s as a timber and mining hub, it now serves as a gateway to the UNESCO-listed Tasmanian Wilderness World Heritage Area. Key attractions include the iconic Gordon River cruises, the West Coast Wilderness Railway, and Ocean Beach, Australia's longest beach.
