Strahan - General Info
Description:
This little port is tucked up into the northern corner of a bay on the exposed west coast of Tasmania.
Strahan is a remote and rather isolated community, so facilities are limited.
Entrance Notes and Cautions:
It provides a very useful port of refuge, but be advised that the entrance channel into Macquarie Harbour (known as Hell’s Gate) is narrow, and has strong tidal flows.
Outside Hell’s Gate is a very convenient anchorage called Pilot Bay which is protected from southwest winds, and a good place to wait until conditions are suitable to enter Hell’s Gate and Macquarie Harbour.
Position:
42° 11’50″S, 145° 12’46″E (Hell’s Gate)
