Burnie is a port city on the north-west coast of Tasmania. When founded in 1827, Burnie was named Emu Bay but it was renamed for William Burnie, a director of the Van Diemen's Land Company, in the early 1840s. Burnie was proclaimed a city by Queen Elizabeth II on April 26th 1988.
Burnie is the fourth largest city in Tasmania. Together with nearby Wynyard it had an estimated urban population of 26,869 at June 2015. Burnie is governed by the City of Burnie local government area.
Nestled around Emu Bay on Bass Strait, Burnie has 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 who call it home.
The best place to see local craft and artisans at work is at the Makers Workshop, part contemporary museum, part arts centre, gallery and craft workshop - where you can also meet the makers. You'll find paper making, cheese tasting, ceramics, textiles, glass, print makers, painters, sculptors and lots more. Have a chat about what they're making or see their objects for sale in the gift shop.
Take a beachside and downtown stroll and find a vibrant mix of shops and eateries serving up fresh coffee, seafood and local produce. Burnie has an art deco flavour, with fine architectural examples that you can explore on foot.
The industrial history of Burnie and the surrounding North West region can be explored at the Burnie Regional Museum where you can wander through a replica Federation Street and see how ordinary people lived more than 100 years ago.
Burnie also produces award-winning cheese and at Hellyers Rd Distillery, Australia's largest boutique whisky distillery, you can sample some of the world's best whiskey at the cellar door.
Look out for the 12-hectare Emu Valley Rhododendron Garden on the way.
There are plenty of places to stay in town and scenic drives east and west of Burnie hug the coast and cross a patchwork landscape of farms dotted with boutique producers and coastal surprises.
In 2017 Burnie and the North-West Coast were lauded for their hosting of the Australian Masters Sports Carnival which consisted of many sports, including Athletics, Softball, Cycling and Baseball.
