Information

Trial Harbour township came into being in the 1880’s as the port that served Zeehan. It’s original name was ‘Remine’ which was the native name for the plant Blandfordia which grows all around the area.

Trial Harbour has magnificent beaches, fishing and spectacular views from the surrounding hills. There are no shops or facilities. Trial Harbour is a small anchorage on the northwest Coast of Tasmania. It was an exposed and particularly vulnerable anchorage susceptible to the prevailing local weather of the Roaring Forties. Named after the cutter Trial, which first anchored there in 1881, the harbour was utilised for a short while during the establishment of the early mining communities of Zeehan, and Queenstown, prior to the establishment of the settlements and facilities at Strahan and Regatta Point.

A free camp is located nearby and 4WD's are permitted onto the beach however this is extremely treacherous at times.
