"Miena" is believed to originate from an Aboriginal word meaning "lagoon-like", reflecting the area's long connection with the surrounding lakes and waterways. The region, including nearby communities such as Liawenee and Waddamana, has a strong Aboriginal history and cultural presence, and trout were first introduced to Great Lake in the late 1890s, establishing what would become one of Australia's most renowned trout fishing regions. In 1911, the Hydro-Electric Commission of Tasmania constructed three dam walls to supply water to the nearby Waddamana Power Station, ultimately forming the Great Lake as it is known today. This development helped shape both the landscape and the community that thrives around it. Today, Miena is home to the largest population of permanent residents within the Central Highlands communities and serves as the gateway to some of Tasmania's most famous inland fisheries. From here, anglers and outdoor enthusiasts have easy access to world-class fishing waters including Arthurs Lake, Penstock Lagoon and Little Pine Lagoon. Within a developed area of Miena, 28 Jones Road presents as a low-maintenance property if you are searching for a comfortable highland shack, a holiday base for fishing adventures, or a peaceful retreat far from the pace of city life.
