Devonport is a vibrant, cosmopolitan city on the north-west coast of
Tasmania, and the hub of the rich Mersey Valley agricultural and orchard district. Its position as the home port for the Spirit of Tasmania ferry services from
Melbourne and
Sydney has created a shoppers' city to browse in the unique boutiques and specialty shops. Eating out is popular with food fresh from paddock to plate and in a variety of cuisines.
Devonport is also an ideal base from which to explore the history, wildlife and wilderness of the region. A feature of the area is Mersey Bluff, a rocky headland linked to the city by scenic walks and bikeways through the coastal reserve parklands.
