Port to Post

Celebrate the winter solstice in Strahan with Port to Post, an immersive sound and light show that transforms the town's historic Post Office into a canvas of connection, conflict, and community. Part of the Light Up the West series, this breathtaking projection by acclaimed artist Alex Moss lights up the darkest of days. Set against the rugged beauty of Tasmania's West Coast, Port to Post dives deep into Strahan's maritime heritage, tracing its role as a vital link before roads connected the region. With haunting soundscapes and vivid visuals, Moss reimagines moments like the Franklin Blockade—an iconic clash that symbolises both unity and division—bringing history to life on the longest night of the year. Whether you're drawn by the story, the spectacle, or the setting, this free event is a must-see in Tasmania's winter calendar. Wrap up warm, wander the waterfront, and let Port to Post light the way.
