Information

Maydena is at the end of the old 3'6" railway which connected the Tyenna Valley. It is the same track that serviced the Mount Field National Park in its early days.

Maydena was a timber town and also had a Osmiridium mine the ore from which was shipped via the railway. It is also an important stop on the way to Strathgorden and would have received a boost from the traffic generated by the dam building project.
