Discover the wonders of hydropower in Tasmania! The Tarraleah Power Station Lookout is a must-see for anyone traveling through the Central Highlands. Whether you’re already fascinated by hydropower or just beginning to uncover its magic, this site is guaranteed to impress.

Driving through the Central Highlands, you’ll find it impossible to miss these hydropower assets, with these impressive structures weaving through the lush Tasmanian landscape. The lookout offers breathtaking views, a perfect photo op, and a chance to reflect on the power of nature harnessed to keep Tasmania running. Don’t just drive by—stop and be inspired by this incredible feat of human ingenuity!
