Queenstown originally a copper mining town, has a significant past history. One needs to be prepared to look beyond the surface to appreciate all it has to offer. Although there are rich reserves of copper still to be mined Queenstown has established itself as a Tourism Destination with award winning tourism experiences such as the Wilderness Railway, King River Rafting, Mountain Biking and wildnerness/heritage tours from the comfort of an air conditioned 4 wheel drive to places not accessible to the general public. Queenstown is a great destination for just exploring nature or enjoying the growing arts community. Only 45 minutes away, you have Strahan and easy access to Gordon River Cruises. If you love walks, hiking, nature and amazing scenery Queenstown is a 'must do' stay for 2 nights. You can visit Zeehan, Corrina and even Cradle Mountain for a short trip from your Queenstown base. Queenstown's museum will keep you busy for several hours in some 30 rooms. Restaurant options whilst limited, are diverse.
