About
Strahan Wharf is a West Coast Council-owned working waterfront on Macquarie Harbour, including wharfage and marina berths. Ask council on (03) 6471 4700 about berth access. The waterfront and fuel arrangements are being redeveloped; an old claim of 24-hour card fuel at the wharf is not reliable current guidance.
Service area: Strahan, TAS

The Strahan waterfront is a working wharf and marina-berth precinct serving fishing, tourism, aquaculture and visiting vessels on Macquarie Harbour. TasPorts transferred the wharf deck, marina berths, finger pier, little dock and related assets to West Coast Council in October 2023; MAST now lists council as the wharf owner. Council's 2026 redevelopment updates describe changes to wharf access, toilets and the fuel site, including investigation of temporary supply and a proposed relocation. Ask council about berth allocation and current fuelling before passage. Do not rely on historic TasPorts booking contacts or a 24-hour fuel claim.
Council owns the wharf deck, marina berths and associated waterfront assets. Enquire with West Coast Council on (03) 6471 4700 / wcc@westcoast.tas.gov.au about berth access, restrictions and charges. MAST lists diesel as a nearby service, but council's 2026 work affects the fuel site; current availability and hours must be confirmed directly. Public toilets and town services are nearby rather than assumed wharf-berth amenities.
Macquarie Harbour is entered through Hells Gates; plan around current weather and navigation notices. Strahan's waterfront is an active fishing/tour-boat precinct with redevelopment under way, so arrange a berth and check fuel access before making the passage.

Bathurst Harbour (Port Davey system), in south‑west Tasmania, is a vast, almost land‑locked estuarine harbour inside the Southwest National Park and World Heritage Area. It offers a remote, sheltered anchoring environment protected from the Roaring Forties, but demands careful planning, an awareness of marine‑reserve rules, and a willingness to operate in shallow, tannin‑stained waters. Best suited to experienced coastal cruisers and small expedition yachts prepared for self‑sufficiency, Bathurst Harbour is more a place to linger and explore on foot and by tender than a port of call for busy,
Plan as a chain of conservative daily legs tied to your boat’s real-world fuel and speed in the expected sea state, with confirmed primary and alternate anchorages/berths, fuel legs and back-up fuel options, and a documented emergency/diversion plan (comms, tow and med-evac). Build tidal and weather gates into each leg and carry chart and comms redundancy.

Requirements vary by jurisdiction and by the species of animal, so check the relevant state/territory biosecurity office, the park management agency and the marina operator before you travel.
