Some Links of Interest in Tasmania

Find out more about this beautiful part of Australia Here Tasmanian Government Website A little about Devonport Devonport is located on the North West coast of the island of Tasmania, 100Km (60 miles) from Launceston and 280Km (170 miles) from Hobart. This city is the port for the larger of the ships linking Tasmania to the mainland and will therefore be the first glimpse many visitors will have of the island. Driving to Devonport within Tasmania TIME / Driving Distances 3.25Hrs From Hobart (280Km) 1 Hrs From Launceston (100Km) 1.75Hrs From Cradle Mountain (90Km) Spectacular Coastal Views Devonport is a lively city renown for its restaurants, galleries and craft shops so it is more than simply an entry point from which to explore the rest of Tasmania. There are some spectacular coastal views along this part of the coast, some being accessible by footpaths leading from the town. About 5 miles to the west, a few miles after the prominently positioned Mersey Bluff Lighthouse, is a popular penguin viewing spot. There is also an airport near the town and scenic flights can be enjoyed over the rugged mountainous terrain of the north of the island. Natural Harbour Devonport has many heritage properties, galleries, museums and even a vintage steam train at Don Village, which conveys passengers for a short journey along to the coast. The town has developed both sides of the large natural harbour, which flows into the Mersey River. Back to the Top
