About Stanley & North West
The North Western region of Tasmania
is a land of contrasts with spectacular coastline,
fertile fields carpeted in tulips, native bushland,
ancient volcanic land forms such as "The
Nut", and historic villages such as Stanley.
On the far north-west tip the sea air which sweeps
in on the winds of the Roaring Forties, has been
tested as the world’s cleanest.
Tasmania's north-west is a prosperous
farming district with rich volcanic soils, and
offers several popular tourist destinations. As
well as agriculture the north west processes timber
products from local forests. The major cities
in the region are Devonport and Burnie. Devonport
is the terminal for the Spirit of Tasmania ferry
which connects with Melbourne on mainland Australia.
Whilst visiting the north-west make
sure you experience the local produce including:
Honey, cheese, wine, vegetables and fresh seafood.
There are so many activities to
experience in north western Tasmania including,
surfing, fishing, birdwatching including sea eagles,
azure kingfishers and fairy penguins.
