Burnie Travel Guide

Burnie occupies a key position on the tourist map as the gateway to the historic north-west and the rich mining area of the west coast. As a thriving industrial and farming centre, many of its attractions are linked to the industries in the surrounding district such as dairy, timber and paper products.
One of Burnie's best features is its position on the shores of Emu Bay, one of Australia's significant deep water container ports which trades directly with over 40 overseas ports. The surrounding countryside has much to offer the nature lover, with scenic walking trails, fly fishing, platypus and penguin viewing.
