These houses are a very special part of Tasmanian history. Read Flanagan’s Sound of One Hand Clapping to learn about life in the Hydro villages in the 50s and 60s. Tarraleah is a wonderful part of that history. The houses - built by the hydro - are nothing short of a perfect example of the architecture and design of the time. Built by master craftsmen. So beautiful and so comfortable. Wood fire ready to light.
