Discover an essential part of Tasmanias history at Bronte Park. It was once a construction village for the Tungatinah power scheme, now its a peaceful village of 20 self-contained cottages, a chalet, a caravan park, a hostel (the old hospital) and a village store that, of course, keeps just about everything you need.
This is the heart of the islands lake district. People come from all over the world to outwit the wily trout, but you wouldnt know it when youre walking along a quiet river banks or rowing the only boat on a calm lake. Remember to take your rod!
When youve proved yourself with the trout explore the rest of this scenic paradise. Theres a network of walking tracks, and plenty of pools and streams to replenish your water bottle and cool your feet. Hunt for fossils and ponder the mystery of seashells far from the sea. Inspect the Power Station Museum for the incredible story of the people who brought electricity to the area. Walk the Cradle Mountain Lake St Clair National Park (but a short drive away) and experience the cool magic of the wilderness.
