WEST COAST - ZEEHAN 🖤
I wasn’t too sure if I was going to post these, not necessarily any traditional ‘wow’ factor in the ordinariness of them, but as always, I’m drawn to the character of the old buildings, built when the area was thriving & full of life, then left as a reminder of how times change & evolve.
Zeehan once a busy mining town of silver, lead, zinc & tin, it was recorded as the third largest town in Tasmania in 1910 with a population of 10,000, now down to approximately 700.
The town & surrounds is littered with reminders of the mining boom, machinery, tunnels, old buildings & relics.
I would love to have seen the town in its hey day, but grateful to be preserving & recording the town today for future reference.
(If you have any old buildings you would like photographed, please send me a DM 🫶)
