It lies 105.2 km west of Hobart, TAS (from Hobart, TAS: bearing 277°T), and is situated 78.8 km west-north-west of Geeveston. Here, the Derwent River, a ribbon of cool, clear water, begins its journey, fed by the glacial lakes that punctuate the rugged terrain. The landscape is a symphony of muted greens and greys, with granite outcrops standing sentinel against the persistent wind that whispers through the eucalyptus. Even the air carries a unique clarity, sharp and invigorating, a constant reminder of the untamed wilderness that presses in on all sides. The very character of Strathgordon is one of quiet endurance, a settlement that has found its place in a land that demands respect.
The story of Strathgordon is intrinsically linked to the harnessing of Tasmania's powerful waterways, a chapter written in concrete and engineering ambition. This remote settlement owes its existence largely to the ambitious hydroelectric schemes that dot the surrounding mountains, transforming the raw power of the rivers into a vital energy source for the island. The local economy, though small, is deeply connected to this infrastructure, with a workforce often involved in the operation and maintenance of the dams and power stations. Beyond the hum of industry, the region offers a profound connection to nature, drawing those who seek the solace of the wild, the thrill of trekking through ancient rainforests, or the quiet contemplation found by the shores of the man-made lakes, now themselves becoming wild again.
