Regatta Point is the location of a port and rail terminus on Macquarie Harbour (West Coast, Tasmania). PortRegatta Point is often assumed into the name of the locality across the bay in Macquarie Harbour, Strahan, Tasmania. The other ports in Macquarie Harbour were Strahan, and Pillinger at the southern end of the harbour. Most shipping through the notorious Hells Gates is now the fishing fleet. The last sea-based delivery of explosives for the Mount Lyell company occurred as late as 1976. Railway terminusIt was the port and terminus of the Mount Lyell Mining and Railway Company railway line from Queenstown.[1] When fully operational prior to closure in the 1960s, it was the location of the transfer of Mount Lyell materials to ships.[2] Regatta Point was the location of the connection between the Mount Lyell private railway and the government railway line which passed through Strahan on the way to Zeehan, when that line was operational. It was possible to utilise passenger services from Queenstown to Burnie, using the Mount Lyell Line, the government line to Zeehan, and the Emu Bay Railway line to Burnie. Railway buildingAn earlier building at the station location was burnt down in 1900 [3] It currently the terminus for the rebuilt West Coast Wilderness Railway. The remaining station building at Regatta Point has been restored for the new service, having lain at risk from the 1960s to the 1990s.[4] Railway stations sequenceFrom Regatta Point to Queenstown:-
