Water Wheel Creek Timber Heritage Experience 

Water Wheel Creek Timber Heritage Experience is located at Mawbanna, north west Tasmania. Mawbanna is a small rural settlement, 25 minutes south east of Stanley (27 kilometres/17 miles), en route to Dip Falls.

Water Wheel Creek Timber Heritage Experience is located on 20 hectares of forested land. Here you can take a guided tour to see Tasmania's only working example of a timber tramway.

Discover the spirit of early pioneers in the Heritage Museum and browse the displays of restored pioneer machinery, artefacts, photographs and memorabilia to gain an insight into life in the early timber communities of Tasmania’s north west.

• You can also take a guided Forest Experience Walk. On this gentle, tracked walk through native forest you will discover a complex eco-system and the diverse wildlife it supports.
• See Tasmanian rainforest trees including blackwood, sassafras and myrtle and walk in the shade of giant tree ferns.
