Linda Valley

These settlements were close to the Mount Lyell mines and workings, at the western edge of Lake Burbury, and east of the old Mount Lyell Mining and Railway Company operations.

[2] A feature in the landscape is the formation created for the Comstock Tram that was proposed to circumnavigate Mount Lyell but was never completed; it started at Linda.

Large numbers of tree stumps line the Mount Lyell slopes in the valley a hundred years after the fires.

[6] The valley's glacial moraine is the only Late Pliocene site with plant fossil assemblages in Tasmania and one of only a few in Australia.

[7] The valley has been part of recent mineral exploration lease areas - however prospective mineral deposits have not been located to date, possibly due to the glacial moraine.
