Regatta Point, Tasmania

Regatta Point is the location of a port and rail terminus on Macquarie Harbour (West Coast, Tasmania).

Regatta Point is often assumed into the name of the locality across the bay in Macquarie Harbour, Strahan, Tasmania.

[1] When fully operational before closure in the 1960s, it was the location of the transfer of Mount Lyell materials to ships.

The remaining station building at Regatta Point has been restored for the new service, having lain at risk from the 1960s to the 1990s.

[4] From Regatta Point to Queenstown: Outside of Macquarie Harbour – on the north coast of Tasmania – Burnie or the southeast Hobart – smaller anchorages exist in between – but are either facility-free Port Davey or dangerous Trial Harbour.
