About Burnie
Burnie is a working port on Tasmania's north-west coast, backed by green farmland, with a long foreshore, an art gallery and little penguins nearby.
Burnie lies on Bass Strait on Tasmania's north-west coast, beneath a ridge of farmland. It is named after a director of the Van Diemen's Land Company, and it grew around its harbour, which still ships cargo from the north-west. A walk runs along the foreshore beside the water, and a regional art gallery marks the town's creative side.
