Mathinna, Tasmania
Mathinna is a small Australian town in the north-east of Tasmania, 63 km east of Launceston.

The town became established as a gold mining centre, shortly after gold was discovered in the area in the 1890s. The Golden Gate Mine in Mathinna was one of Tasmania's highest-yield gold mines, second only to Beaconsfield. At its peak in the late 1890s, the town sustained a population of over 5,000, including a large number of Chinese miners, making it the third largest town in Tasmania at the time.〔(Community History - Mathinna ), Fingal Online Access Centre (Tasmanian Communities Online).
