Liawenee is a town in Tasmania, Australia built near Great Lake and the River Ouse. The town is about 89 to 90 years old as of 2009. The town is known for its great fishing at nearby Great Lake and hosts several fishing events bringing people from all over Tasmania.

It was founded in June 1920 as a camp for the workers at the nearby hydro-electric undertaking as well as some other towns such as Miena. In its humble beginnings the population consisted entirely of the workers at the hydro-electric plant and their families, the houses were wood and canvas. In this time the camp boasted three cottages where married couples lived and a so called hospital that was only twice the size of a house making it more of a first aid clinic. The original layout included blacksmiths, bakeries and a chaff store which made up the requirements for a workforce making it a work camp rather than a village. During the second world war it became much larger but settlers consisted mainly of men who were paid handsomely for their work yet could find no place to spend it nor a place to deliver mail.
