Originally built in the late 1960's, Pedder Wilderness Lodge began life as worker accommodation during the construction of the Gordon Dam and Power Station — a bold hydroelectric project designed to power Tasmania’s future.
Set in the remote southwest, “Strathgordon Village” was a bustling hub of engineers, builders, and families (reaching over 2000 people), surrounded by towering mountains and relentless weather. It was a busy township, with all the facilities the residents needed - shops and a supermarket, sporting facilities, a church, medical centre, fire service, police station and school.
When major works were completed, the village gradually transformed into the lodge you see today — a warm refuge for adventurers, fishers, nature lovers, and those seeking solitude at the edge of the wild — while continuing to house permanent Hydro employees and Lodge staff.
