About the Burnie Region Burnie is Tasmania's fourth largest city and busiest container port a hub for road, rail and sea transport systems linking the North West and West Coasts of Tasmania to the rest of the world
With sand and surf almost lapping at the door, Burnie's central business and shopping district provides a thoroughfare to the beachside boardwalk and to a 17-kilometre walking trail that skirts the city. In about the time it takes to enjoy a cappuccino you can be working it off along the beautiful pathways of Burnie Park through native rainforest to a dramatic waterfall.
Or (if you're lucky) you can catch a glimpse of platypus just a few minutes drive east of the city at Fernglade, a tranquil retreat for picnicking or simply meandering along the banks of the Emu River. When you've worked up an appetite head up the hill to sample the region's famous cheeses at the Lactos Cheese Tasting Centre and take advantage of the local prices and vast array of Tasmanian specialty produce from pickles and native peppercorns to the best Tasmanian wines.
Continue south and you'll reach spectacular Annsleigh Gardens and Tea Rooms and the renowned Rhododendron Gardens - superb displays of more than 9,000 wild and hybrid rhododendrons in a natural 12-hectare amphitheatre. Or further still to Australia's biggest eucalypt tree farm - the Surrey Hills Tree Farm Estate.
