Wee Georgie Wood hails from a time in the early 1900s when railway access was the only way to reach the small mining settlement of Tullah nestled in the mountainous temperate rain forests of Tasmania's West Coast. Operating on scheduled weekends and special times throughout spring and summer, immerse yourself in a twenty-minute journey along the restored tracks. When not in operation visitors are welcome to take a self-guided tour and explore the railway site. Shelters and picnic facilities are onsite. With breathtaking scenery and fascinating history, the 1924 steam locomotive Wee Georgie Wood connected the town to the states railway system and continued its operation until the Murchison Highway was built in the 1960s. The heritage steam railway seen today has been operated and maintained by volunteers since its opening in 1987. Through their dedication and hard work, visitors to the area can take a nostalgic train ride and experience what it was like to travel to this isolated West Coast community in the early 20th century.

Lake Mackintosh is five kilometres from Tullah in Tasmania's west and is one of the most beautiful lakes in the region. The lake and surrounding countryside are magnificent with myrtle, sassafras and eucalypt forests along with native ferns growing almost to the lake's edge. Like all Hydro Tasmania lakes, Lake Mackintosh is stocked with brown and rainbow trout and a great place to go fishing with several boat ramps available on the lake. Lake Macintosh is also a terrific place to enjoy a picnic or barbecue on the shore. There are several easy bushwalking tracks around the lake or take a three-hour return walk to the summit of Mt Farrell through lush forest past old mines and through areas of buttongrass. From the summit there are amazing views of Tasmania's wilderness. You need a licence to fish for trout in Tasmania's lakes. A free brochure - Fishing Code for Anglers - is available from licence-selling agents and the Inland Fisheries Commission.
