Queenstown Freight Services
Tucked into the West Coast ranges about four hours from Hobart, Queenstown spans a century of copper and gold mining history with a working mining-contractor economy and a steady stream of heritage tourism. QFM manages pallet, carton and trade freight into the town via the Lyell Highway, with Hobart as the standard Tasmanian origin and interstate loads transiting through Melbourne.
The Lyell Highway is a winding mountainous run — access-sensitive for oversized and overlength freight, and weather-influenced in winter. Mining-contractor supply, construction for heritage and infrastructure, hospitality replenishment for the West Coast Wilderness Railway precinct and general retail supply make up the bulk of Queenstown's inbound freight. Regional on-forwarding to Strahan, Rosebery and Zeehan extends QFM's coverage across the West Coast.
