South West Tasmania.

Lake Gordon Power Development

The small and remote settlement of Strathgordon is situated in the south west of Tasmania - between lakes Gordon and Pedder. Together these lakes form The Gordon River Power Development Hydro Electric Scheme which occupies a vast area of over 500 square kms.

Lake Gordon was created from the Gordon River by constructing a 140 m high dam across the river above its intersection with the Serpentine River. Water from the lakes is used in the underground Hydroelectric Gordon Power Station, located near the Gordon Dam.

There is good fishing in the lakes and spectacular rugged mountainous scenery to enjoy. Strathgordon is 80 miles west of Hobart via a scenic and winding road.
