Parattah
This required an almost retrace of our steps back to Oatlands this time we took a different route through Runnymede.
Parattah was once an important railway town servicing the Hobart Launceston line. Parattah was once known as Parattah Junction due to the former Oatlands railway line, which branched off towards Oatlands from this area. Today, the railway station serves no passenger traffic, with the last passenger visits occurring in the early 2000s on heritage rail tours.
The town has suffered with the withdrawal if most of the functions of junction town with the closure of the Oatlands Branch line with the decay showing through and the decline of businesses and lots of abandoned houses though the locals who remain are trying to revive the town.
