Central Highlands

Central Highlands is best known within Australia for its highland lakes and hydroelectric reservoirs. In Tasmania’s interior, much of the region occupies the Central Plateau, where cool, open country is broken by tarns, marshes and extensive water bodies. Great Lake and Arthurs Lake are among the better-known names in this lake district, whose managed waters have long been integral to Tasmania’s hydroelectric system. The terrain and climate give the highlands a markedly different character from the island’s coastal cities and beaches: broad uplands, cold winters and a sparse settlement pattern prevail.
