Queenstown started off as a major gold mining area, based around the Queen River Valley. This then developed into a profitable copper mining area, which was still running until 1969. There are a variety of things to do in Queenstown, and it is a good base from which to explore western Tasmania.

To see a bit of the town’s history head to the Gallery Museum, which has some interesting displays. You can also join mine tours that travel both above or below ground, which are very interesting to go on.
