 Zeehan - Tasmania |
"King Island off Tasmania's North West Coast is best known for its Dairy Farming, in particular its World Class Cheeses..."
|
Zeehan has a population of around 1200 and is a 30 min drive from Queenstown in Tasmania's west. Silver-lead deposits resulted in a boom period for the town late last century; at one stage it had more than 20 hotels and its population was close to 10,000, making it Tasmania's third largest town.
Currently, Zeehan lives on mainly through the local tin mine. Historic buildings from the boom period include the Gaiety Theatre, which was once time the largest theatre in Australia.
