BURNIE:
Burnie occupies a key position on the tourist map, as a gateway to the rich mining area of the west coast and the scenic and historic far north-west coast. It is the fourth largest city in Tasmania and a major industrial centre. Once called Emu Bay, it was the port from which tin ore mined at Waratah, 57km to the south, was exported. This deepwater port is now one of Australia’s significant container ports, serviced by a rail centre which is the headquarters of the privately owned Emu Bay Railway Company.

Today the town owes its growth to the development of its forest-based industries, the largest of which is the paper maker, Australian Paper (Amcor).
