Tasmania is an island state located south east of the Australian mainland.
Burnie is Tasmania's most westerly city, located on the North West Coast about 40 minutes from Devonport. 
It has a northerly aspect and is nestled around Emu Bay on Bass Strait.
 
 
The 20,000 residents enjoy a vibrant shopping district that spills onto the beach for seafood and coffee.
Burnie has surprising restaurants and cafes to linger in.
It has a dynamic cultural life, galleries, performances, exhibitions and community events.

 
 
Burnie's hills hide impressive gardens and parks, and it is surrounded by beautiful beaches, sparkling water and fresh air. 
In some areas people live in perfect art deco or federation homes and public spaces featuring buildings by contemporary Tasmanian architects and designers.
But there is no escaping the presence of a busy container port, the rail hub or the factory framework
lining the highway around Emu Bay on the eastern approach to Burnie.
A factory which evolved over 75 years manufacturing high volumes of paper for world markets.
