Lake Burbury Camping Ground

The Mt Owen MTB trails in Queenstown provide an experience like no other in the southern hemisphere. Set against a landscape that is as breathtakingly beautiful as it is wild and raw. Wherever you go in Queenstown, Mt Owen looms large at an impressive 1,146 m above sea level. On a clear day from the top, gaze towards Frenchman’s Cap, ponder the lost towns lying under Lake Burbury or look West across the Southern Ocean. These trails are remote and physically demanding, with trails to cover a range of skill levels - however some are not for the faint of heart. West Coast Tas is putting the mountains back into mountain biking. Take a trip, just outside your comfort zone and experience it for yourself.

Lake Burbury is an absolute gem on Tasmania’s west coast, offering some of the best fishing and boating spots around! Surrounded by the stunning Franklin-Gordon Wild Rivers National Park, this lake is the perfect place to cast a line for trout or take your boat out to explore the peaceful, pristine waters. Lake Burbury is regarded by anglers as one of the top fishing destinations in Tasmania! Hydro Tasmania has made it super easy to get out on the water with three boat ramps around the lake, including one at Thureau Hills. Plus, if you're planning to stick around, there’s a great, free campground at Darwin Dam on the southern end of the lake. Whether you’re after a relaxing day fishing or an adventure on the water, Lake Burbury is the place to be! Here in Tasmania, our lakes don’t just offer stunning scenery; they’re also the powerhouse of our renewable energy… hydropower!

The Unconformity is a contemporary arts festival exploring the unique paradoxes of Queenstown, in Lutruwita/Tasmania, Australia. Walk the landscape, meet the people. Become disoriented, be provoked, feel your perceptions being challenged. And, find something of yourself, within a cultural frontier that exists on the edge, in wild Western Lutruwita/Tasmania. Inspired by a rare geological unconformity and the non-conforming nature of our community, The Unconformity is a biennial, four-day festival of site-specific cultural activities that cast new perceptions and opportunities for Queenstown, a remote post-industrial mining town in Western Lutruwita/Tasmania.
