No trip to Zeehan is complete with a visit to the Rock Shop! The owner will give you a glimpse into the mining history of the area and in-depth information about the gem stones themselves! The prices are beyond reasonable and the best I have ever seen sold for! Make sure you make a stop here and shop local!
2. West Coast Heritage Centre, Zeehan
Overall Ratings
4.5 based on 223 reviews
Established in 1963 the West Coast Heritage Centre Zeehan has continued to grow and offers visitors a comprehensive experience and understanding of the history, heritage and culture of the Tasmanian West Coast. Visitors can experience everything from an Edwardian picture show in the historic Gaiety Theatre to the modern day underground mine simulation as part of their visit. The galleries and exhibits highlight the efforts of the pioneers', both men, women and children who carved an existence from the remote wilderness in search of Tasmanian mineral wealth and developed the region as we know it today.

This centre in the heart of Zeehan,and gives a detailed history of mining and the lives of people in the mining industry in the West of Tasmania. Set in the old school of Mines and Metallurgy in the old mining town of Zeehan in western Tasmania, it has rich displays of minerals, mining technology, and the people and places and fashions of the times. Displays highlighting mining techniques explained in a simple manner, a wide variety of minerals and crystals and rocks of all types, equipment used in mines that had been retrieved from local operations, blacksmith shops, trains used in mining, and even a simulated mine are available. The genuine articles are on display with little in the way of simulations and computer-based information/displays. You see the real deal. The town itself is struggling as mining is less of an industry than what it used to be. However, the Heritage Centre is of a high standard and very well presented for all to see. It is a must see when in western Tasmania. It is well worth a visit to Zeehan just to go through this facility - allow at least half a day to do it.

Reece Dam has a really impressive [and tall] spillway. There is a hydro station just off the main road which runs across the dam wall. There are parking areas both sides of the dam. The drive there takes you through some some great west coast countryside.

Spray Tunnel in Zeehan is great. If you wait for your eyes to adjust you can see a lot of glow worms in the Tunnel. The walks around the area are beautiful too and perfect for kids or elders. The West Coast is so beautiful to explore during the Winter from rainforest walks to hiking snow capped mountains, kayaking serene rivers and mountain biking some of the best trails in the world.
