Secret Station presents a one night program of original music and art across both Queenstown and Lynchford Stations. Ticket-holders will arrive at Queenstown Station, and travel approximately 25 minutes via train or bus to Lynchford Station. A unique program of sound, music, installation and interactive exploration will unfold across both locations, including musicians, storytellers, scientists, artists, and more.

Lynchford Station is only accessible to ticket holders and those over 18 years of age. The way you arrive is the way you leave - by train, or by bus. The total time at Lynchford Station will be no more than 2.5 hours, with the train whistle indicating it is time to board.

Getting Here

To reach the West Coast of Lutruwita/Tasmania is to commit to a journey worth taking. A four-hour drive from Launceston or Nipaluna/Hobart will take you through mountain ranges, rainforest, and historic industrial towns – a journey as much about where you're going as how you get there. Take your time. Plan your stops. Drive alert, arrive ready. The road west is part of the adventure – make it a safe one.

The Unconformity is shaped by this place – its people, its histories, its contradictions. Go further and you'll find more: weathered facades, quiet waters, deep wilderness, and the ongoing presence of Country. This region doesn't reveal itself all at once. It asks you to stay, to look again, to dig a little deeper.
