Guide to Burnie
Geography
Burnie is right next to where the Emu River empties into Emu Bay in northwesternTasmania. It isn’t the most metropolitan settlement in the state, but it’s an important junction since it’s where two major railway lines intersect.
Climate in Burnie
Burnie experiences an oceanic climate with low temperature variation throughout the year. In summer (November to April), temperatures range from 12-21°C, while temperatures in winter (May to October) rarely fall below 6°C. Rainfall is concentrated in the months of July and August.
Things to do in Burnie
Meet local artists
The Maker’s Workshop isn’t just any art gallery; it’s also a place for visitors to produce new art, whether it’s paintings, sketches or clay work. Burnie was once known for its papermaking industry, and the Workshop remembers this by exhibiting Australia’s largest handmade paper mill, Creative Paper.
Take a trip down memory lane
The Burnie Regional Museum is a great place to go learn about this aspect of the city’s heritage. The museum’s chief attraction, a full-size replica of 20th-century Federation Street, is complete with shops and other buildings that make you feel transported back to the roots of Australian modernity.
Spend some time in nature
Enter the Emu Valley Rhododendron Garden, and you’ll find yourself in an artificial forest decorated with lakes, bridges and paths. In addition to more than 22,000 rhododendrons, the garden also has lots of animals to keep an eye out for, including platypuses and echidnas. Head to the Little Penguin Observation Centre to watch small penguins splashing about on the beach.
Eating out in Burnie
Fish Frenzy specialises in seafood, delivering fish ‘n chips coated in special tempura or beer batter. It’s not hard to see why this place attracts a lot of luxury cruise ships. After a couple of hours at the Burnie Regional Museum, grab some tea, bacon and French toast at The Chapel, which is (unsurprisingly) designed to look like a place of worship. Thai Smile Cafe and Takeaway makes delicious East Asian food, such as tom yum soup and beef massaman curry, using imported ingredients. Dig into some of Tasmania’s best crusts at Mamma Rosa’s Pizzas.
