Devonport Attractions

 
Devonport (pop. 25,400), Tasmania's third largest town, lies on the north coast, at the mouth of the Mersey River, and is the starting point of the Bass Highway. For many visitors it is the gateway to Tasmania, since the Spirit of Tasmania, the car ferry from Melbourne, puts in here. It is an important industrial center and port, shipping agricultural produce. It has its own airport, which has promoted its development as a tourist center.

Devonport has a number of interesting museums, including the Maritime Museum, the Early Motoring and Folk Museum, the Wheel House Museum (an old coach-builder's workshop) and the Taswegia Printery Museum (an old printing office).
