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.
