Queenstown, Mining administrative division in West Coast, Tasmania.
The landscape of Queenstown shows mineral extraction marks, with Mount Sedgewick and Mount Owen framing the settlement in Tasmania's western region.
The town emerged during the 1890s copper mining boom, becoming a central point for mineral extraction that shaped Tasmania's industrial development.
The Paragon Theatre stands as an Art Deco structure with marble-effect painted floors, presenting classic films and performances for the local community.
Visitors can reach Queenstown through a 260-kilometer drive from Hobart or take the West Coast Wilderness Railway for an alternative transport option.
The surrounding terrain displays mineral-stripped hills and the Queen River flows with orange waters, resulting from extensive mining operations.
