The town has a rich mining history and is known for its beautiful and secluded atmosphere, with attractions including Australia’s steepest golf course and Tasmania’s tallest waterfall (Montezuma Falls, 113m high).
There are several challenging walking tracks throughout the rugged peaks surrounding Rosebery, offering spectacular views. Lake Pieman and Lake Rosebery are popular local spots for camping, picnicking, or trout fishing.
