About Burnie

Burnie is a resilient coastal city with a deep industrial heritage that has successfully transitioned into a modern regional hub. Established in 1827 by the Van Diemen’s Land Company as Emu Bay, the town grew rapidly around timber, manufacturing, and its deepwater port. While industry remains an economic pillar, Burnie has spent recent decades intentionally fostering a culture of making, art, and premium food production. The city sits on a steep hill overlooking Bass Strait, offering striking ocean views from its many suburban streets. Its independent business community features a thoughtful mix of specialty cafés, local galleries, and boutique retailers. Residents benefit from excellent regional healthcare and education facilities, while visitors appreciate the city’s proximity to rugged natural highlights like the Guide Falls and the Emu Valley Rhododendron Garden. Burnie presents a grounded, practical lifestyle where community spirit and a proud working history form the foundation of daily life.
