North West Tasmania
The North West region of Tasmania is a farming area with reliable rainfall producing high quality beef cattle and dairy products.
The rich red, volcanic soils are famous for producing premium fruit and vegetables.
The timber industry and mining are also well established, along with manufacturing, and more recently the growth of small breweries and distilleries.
The terrain ranges from sparkling beaches to untouched wilderness and boasts the cleanest air in the world.
There are two major cities, Devonport and Burnie, and a number of small towns spread across the region.
The Bass Highway stretches 180 km from the ferry port of Devonport, to Marrawah on the upper west coast. Inland from the coastal highway there are numerous country roads that provide excellent riding and interesting day loops from all the coastal towns.
The North West region is your gateway to Cradle Mountain, the Central Highlands and the wild West Coast.
Whether you are looking for paddock to plate dining or a remote wilderness experience, the North West region has it all.
