The Galahs Nest

Located in Queenstown, the home of the West Coast Wilderness Railway, Tracks is open seven days. It offers what many tell us is the West Coast's best coffee and is fully licensed, boasting an extensive all-Tasmanian wine list and a selection of craft beers. Relax in comfy couches by the open fire on cool days, or dine alfresco in warmer weather, Tracks is an inviting option in all seasons. The menu features a delicious range of seasonal dishes and daily specials.

The Galley Museum in Queenstown houses unique collections telling stories of West Coast survival, endurance and sacrifice. Hosed within the heritage-listed Imperial Hotel (constructed in 1897), the collections hold (in some cases) the last vestiges of the former mines and communities of the West Coast, providing a very personal record of the people themselves and their daily lives. The museum is managed by dedicated volunteers and features 30 rooms of historical items including personal effects, documents, cameras, theatre projectors, household items, gems and minerals, military, emergency services, and mining artifacts depicting the varied aspects of West Coast heritage. Open seven days a week, with affordable entry fees including concession and family rates, the Galley is also a white i-visitor information centre, a Children's University Learning Destination, and a bike-friendly accredited business. Children receive a free activity pack. The Galley Museum stocks a range of products that make the perfect gift or souvenir to remember a visit to Queenstown, with a range designed by West Coasters, created by West Coasters, or made from West Coast materials.

The West Coast Wilderness Railway Museum at Queenstown Station has been fully refurbished to better reflect the history of the Railway. Using a combination of original authentic artefacts and informative displays, the museum recognises all those who have played a part in the Railway's story, from its original construction in the 1890s as a means of getting minerals from the mines of Queenstown to the port of Strahan, to its renewal in more recent times as one of the region's major tourism attractions. Entry to the museum is free and it is open daily, with opening hours reflecting those of the adjacent station ticketing office and gift shop.
