WADDAMANA
Waddamana is a small, rural locality in Tasmania, Australia, located in the Central Highlands region. Historically significant, it was once the site of Tasmania's first major hydro-electric power scheme, which began operations in 1916 and played a crucial role in the state's industrial development. The Waddamana Power Station, now decommissioned, is preserved as part of the Waddamana Hydro Heritage Site, attracting visitors interested in engineering and industrial history. The area is characterized by its rugged, natural beauty, with surrounding landscapes of forests, rivers, and rolling hills, making it a serene and remote destination. Today, Waddamana is a quiet, sparsely populated area, with its heritage and connection to Tasmania's energy history being its defining features.
