    Strathgordon is a rural locality in the local government area (LGA) of Derwent Valley in the South-east LGA region of Tasmania. The locality is about 121 kilometres (75 mi) west of the town of New Norfolk. The 2016 census recorded a population of 15 for the state suburb of Southwest, which includes Strathgordon.[1] It is on the road to the Gordon River Dam the most south westerly road in the south west of Tasmania. It is a tourist destination for visitors wishing to visit the Southwest National Park and World Heritage listed wilderness.

    It is remote by Tasmanian standards; however, fuel can be purchased at the Lake Pedder Wilderness Lodge which also provides accommodation and meals.[citation needed] The nearest basic services, otherwise, are 70 kilometres (43 mi) away along a winding road from Maydena. From Maydena, access can be made along the Gordon River Road to the major population centers of Tasmania. The road is maintained by Hydro Tasmania and has views of the South Western Wilderness.

    History

    Strathgordon was gazetted as a locality in 1968.[3] The town was the 'company' town for construction by the Hydro Tasmania of the hydro-electric structures that resulted in damming of Lake Pedder and Lake Gordon. Its post office opened on 16 July 1969.[4]

    Geography

    The locality is completely surrounded by the much larger locality of Southwest.[5]

    Road infrastructure

    Route B61 (Gordon River Road) runs through from south-east to south-west.[3][6]
