West Coast Wilderness Railway

Business Description

In the late 1800s, a railway was built through the unforgiving terrain of lutruwita/Tasmania’s West Coast. This cultural icon was once the only access for the families that lived and worked along the railway line, where the motto ‘find a way or make a way’ was one to live by. Today, journey in comfortable carriages pulled by the rail’s original, heritage locomotives and listen to the stories of those that called this inhospitable place their home. Stop at remote stations, take in the surrounding environment, and pause to admire the tenacity and resilience of those that came before us.

We acknowledge the Tasmanian Aboriginal people and their enduring custodianship of lutruwita / Tasmania. We honour 40,000 years of uninterrupted care, protection and belonging to these islands, before the invasion and colonisation of European settlement.

As a destination that welcomes visitors to these lands, we acknowledge our responsibility to represent to our visitors, Tasmania’s deep and complex history, fully, respectfully and truthfully.

We acknowledge the Aboriginal people who continue to care for this country today. We pay our respects to their elders, past and present. We honour their stories, songs, art, and culture, and their aspirations for the future of their people and these lands. We respectfully ask that tourism be a part of that future.
