Devonport Attractions

This region has some of the best walking trails and when you enter Cradle Valley you will find Tasmania's most recognisable landmark, the ragged profile of Cradle Mountain reflected in Dove Lake below. This is your entry to a walk through a World Heritage Area protected because of its rare cool temperate rainforests, Aboriginal history, towering mountains and buttongrass plains.

Cradle Mountain-Lake St Clair National Park is home to the world famous Overland Track linking Cradle Valley by a six-day walk south to Lake St Clair. There are many superb short walks from the Valley, including the most popular around Dove Lake. The Great Western Tiers form an ancient backdrop to the lush valleys where you can find artist studios, berry farms, the caves of the Mole Creek Karst National Park, and learn about our unique animals : Tasmanian devils, potaroos, pademelons, spotted quolls and much more.

Visit The Great Western Tiers, known to the Aboriginal people as Kooparoona Niara, a timeless landscape of mountains and valleys, forest and open plains. Beneath the surface are extensive limestone caves in the Mole Creek Karst National Park.

This is a creative region - Deloraine holds the southern hemisphere's largest working craft fair. In Westbury, Deloraine and Latrobe there are well-preserved reminders of earlier days. In the antique shops you can search out treasures - the glow of cedar, the patterning of birds-eye Huon pine or the shine of silver.

This is a land of milk and honey, and of sweet berries and fresh vegetables, grass-fed beef and superb farm cheeses. Inland, Mt Roland overlooks fertile pastures around Sheffield, the town of murals.
