What’s special about Tullah?
Hire a mountain bike or take a guided wilderness walk for unsurpassed views of distant peaks. Grab a paddle and explore the lake or Henty River with an experienced guide by sea kayak or canoe. Ask about boat and horseback tours of the area.
For something quaint, hop aboard Wee Georgie Wood for a 1.6-kilometre (one-mile) small-gauge steam locomotive ride right from the middle of the town. And for something uniquely Tasmanian, drop by the local woodcraft workshop, which is open most days.

The story of Tullah:
Tullah is a former mining and 'Hydro' town, on the edge of Lake Rosebery, overlooked by the forested slopes of Mount Farrell.
For many years access to the old mining town was only via foot and later by steam train. It was not until 1962 that the construction of the Murchison Highway from Burnie to Queenstown allowed Tullah to be linked to the rest of Tasmania.
Travel Directions:
Tullah is about 80-minutes’ drive south of Burnie (110 kilometres/69 miles).
