Great Western Tiers © Tourism Tasmania and Ray JoyceLocated on a plateau in the heart of the Great Western Tiers, Poatina is surrounded by the best Tasmanian inland fishing rivers and lakes. The town is relatively young, built in the mid-1960s to house the workers for the Poatina Power Station and the area’s other hydro-electricity projects. Poatina's name is the Aboriginal word for cavern, which is appropriate since the power station was Tasmania's first underground hydro-electricity generator. Visitors can climb the 2000 steps up Poatina’s pipeline and be rewarded for the effort with magnificent views of the midland plains and Launceston and Mount Ben Lomond to the north.
