 Description of Zeehan
Visiting Zeehan today, it is difficult to imagine that it was once a booming mining centre with a population of approximately 10,000. The West Coast Pioneers Memorial Museum in the main street is a popular must-see attraction for visitors to the area and there are plenty of old mining relics outside town including smelters and old mine sites.

 Treks passing Zeehan
Montezuma Falls & Ring River Montezuma Falls & Ring River
The magnificant Montezuma Falls lies deep in state forest between Zeehan and Roseberry with many rivers and creeks to cross along the way. It is a delightful place to visit both for the excitement of the journey and for the experience of seeing Tasmania's highest fall up close.
Strahan to Wynyard via Murchison Hwy Strahan to Wynyard via Murchison Hwy
The Murchison Highway is a sealed road in Tasmania’s northwest that starts at Rayna and heads north to the town of Somerset on the coast. This trek passes through many old mining towns such as Zeehan and Rosebery, while offering spectacular mountain scenery, cool thick forests and gentle plateaus. [Feature Story]
Zeehan Spray Tunnel Zeehan Spray Tunnel
A short one-way loop track out of Zeehan that takes in some history and is a bit of fun for everyone. This is only a 30 minute return trip but is well worth it if you are passing through Zeehan enroute to the nearby 4WD Montezuma Track.
