Waddamana village housed workers building Tasmania's first hydro-electric power stationThe owner has spent the past few decades hosting tourists in the villageWaddamana is the site of Tasmania's first power station, with the nearby village used to house workers during construction in the early 1900s.Current owner Helen Cooper and her late husband Frank purchased the entire town on a whim in 1991.
Ms Cooper said they just "loved where it was, we loved the trees and the buildings and it was right on the river. It was old. We do love old things".It was an impulse buy with no regrets, but running the tourist village wasn't without its challenges. "As I was the cook for the camp and we worked probably 30 weeks out of the year, Monday to Friday, I got a bit sick of peeling potatoes so I thought it was time for a change," she said.
"I'm getting a bit old to be up there by myself, and although I love it there I have grandchildren in town and my family in town, so it's time to have a change," she said."Lovely lifestyle, lots of animals came to the door to be fed, we had our own little private possum and wallaby, you name it, they all came to the door for little tidbits.But there are some things she won't miss.It is pretty quiet in the Tasmanian town of Waddamana.
Was there a massacre of our First Nations Peoples? How about asbestos?
