The Paragon Theatre opened on October 28, 1933 to a capacity crowd of 1150. After a chequered history which saw it gutted and repurposed as an indoor cricket stadium in 1985 before closing down for over a decade it then underwent a major restoration in the early 2000's. After being closed again for 3 years we bought the theatre in July 2017 and are continuing the restoration. During the warmer months you can enjoy dinner in the beautiful main hall before relaxing on a leather couch to watch an old classic movie, perhaps with a glass of wine/beer or one of our famous house-made whiskey choc-tops. If you don't have time for dinner and movie you can do a self-guided tour of the theatre, for a small fee, to learn about its history and just enjoy the space. Tours generally available all year round. We also have events throughout the season including musical concerts and plays so we hope you will join us in our quest to make The Paragon Theatre the entertainment hub of Western Tasmania.

King River Rafting is Tasmania's one day white water rafting specialist. Usually based on Tasmania's west coast at Queenstown we mainly offer trips on the King River. With quality rapids, superb wilderness rainforest and assured water this is a quality trip. From the King River Gorge you can chose to catch the West Coast Wilderness Railway back to Queenstown or continue on down the more peacefull lower reaches of the river for a full day of wilderness rafting.

Step back in time and history as you board a majestic steam train. Indulge in local produce, watch the modern day workings of the locomotives, stroll through the rainforest, or simply relax and enjoy the motion of the train. The West Coast Wilderness Railway experience has something to offer everyone. With a range of full day and half day steam train experiences and year-round departures from both Queenstown Station and the historic harbourside Regatta Point Station in Strahan, there is a journey to suit everyone. Discover the enchanting Gondwanan rainforest - still home to the ancient Huon pine - from the comfort of your carriage, or the many opportunities to disembark at the outlying stations and explore at your own pace. Book today and let us welcome you onboard.
