On the north coast of Tasmania, the city of Burnie offers a view of the simplicity of coastal life. A city once almost solely supported by the local paper mills and its deepwater port, Burnie now offers much to tourists.
Upon arrival in Burnie, wooden houses perched on hills and overlooking the bay set the scene. Explore the town to discover why the small city has thrived since its foundation in 1827. The Associated Pulp and Paper Mills housed in the city have had a long, successful and sometimes complex history. For many years the paper mills and local port were the heart of the city. The mills that support the city are available for tours.
After touring the mills, explore the rest of Burnie. Burnie Park offers lawns, shade and an animal reserve. The locals, and many others, feel as though the park is one of the most beautiful in Tasmania. The animal reserve contains emus, peacocks, swans and more. Also in the city is the Pioneer Village Museum. The recreated buildings of old showcase a town and shops that would have thrived in pioneer days.
