Burnie is a port city with an industrial past that has
reinvented itself as a vibrant and creative city on a
beautiful stretch of Tasmania's North West Coast.

been an industrial centre for most of its existence.
Since the closure of its paper pulp mill, the city has
taken a creative approach to promoting itself and
the many makers who call it home.
