You may have been drawn to the west coast of Tasmania because you wanted to visit somewhere a bit more remote and untouched. Tullah is even more remote and untouched than Strahan and many of the other west coast townships. It’s so fresh, quiet and pretty that it’ll draw you in with curiosity. If you’re coming from a city, you’ll find yourself in unfamiliar but yet intriguing territory.
Tullah in Tasmania’s west coast was once a mining town which pivoted to becoming a hydro-electricity town with the formation of Lake Rosebery. There are many things to do in Tullah such as fishing, kayaking, walking, mountain bike riding and the Wee Georgie Wood Railway.
During the 1800’s the town was known as Mount Farrell, due to its location at the base of Mount Farrell and the edge of Lake Rosebery. During these times it was so remote it could only be accessed via horse, foot or tramway.
Working on cradle mountain we visit Tullah quite regularly. This cache is located lakeside and has some amazing views.
