Explore Tasmania
The industrial port of DEVONPORT, the terminal of the Bass Strait ferry, is not the most inspiring welcome into Tasmania. Indeed, were it not for the port on the Mersey River, the CBD feels more like that of a small town backed by a large, anonymous suburban spread.

The Tasmanian Trail
The Tasmanian Trail is a 480km multipurpose recreational trail extending from Devonport on the north coast to Dover on the south coast. Created by connecting forestry roads, fire trails and country roads (often going through small towns) and at times traversing private land, it’s primarily used for mountain biking and horseriding. For details, consult wwww.tasmaniantrail.com.au; or the Tasmanian Trail Guidebook is available from tourist offices and bookshops for $28.
