QUEENSTOWN: Tasmania's town with a story to tell

You might think you know Queenstown. But the Queenstown of lutruwita / Tasmania's West Coast rarely reveals itself at first glance. Tucked between the commanding silhouettes of Mount Owen and Mount Lyell, Queenstown sits deep within one of Australia’s most striking landscapes. Once among the richest mining towns in the world, it remains the largest settlement on Tasmania’s West Coast, a place shaped as much by its rugged terrain as by the people who continue to call it home.
