Trial Harbour is a little holiday town
on the west coast of Tasmania, about 20 minutes out of
Zeehan. Our shack (well we call it a house) is about
fifty metres from the beach, there is a photo of it in
the photo gallery.There are plenty of things to do and
see while you are visiting our little place called Trial
harbour. South of Trial is a pleasant walk along the
ocean beach to the little Henty River in which you can
fish for trout in season or take along your favourite
surf rod and do some surf fishing, if that sounds to hard
just lay back on the beautiful beach and take in all the
beautiful scenery, it is truly just the greatest place to
relax.if you look to the hill coming down into Trial you
will see a Zig Zag track and half way up there is a seat
with a beautiful view to the head of Strahan, also a good
spot to watch some of our great sunsets. This track was
the original packhorse track in and out of the town in
the early days.the wild flowers on the surrounding
hillsides are an attractive feature in the spring, some
of them are wild clematis, tea tree, baronia, heath and
small wild orchids. Some of the fish we can catch in the
area, are crayfish abalone, a range of scale fish and
shark, along with the trout you can catch in the Henty
river.when the tide is out it's a nice walk on the reef
to explore the many small marine life clinging to the
rocks and the small star fish etc.We do, as most of the
people at Trial love the place due to it not being
commecialized, it is a very quiet and relaxing place to
be, even in the wild wet winter time we have down this
way. The people here all work together to make it the
place it is, and it has a special kind of beauty that we
see and appreciate. Beauty is seen in many ways and i
think we have it all.
