Visit Devonport and meet the dreamy seaside

In the northwest of Australia, there is a city shining like a pearl [Star] - Devonport. It is the third largest city in Tasmania [CityDusk] and an excellent starting point for tourists to explore Tasmania. The beauty of Devonport is a dreamlike poem where nature and humanity interweave. After arriving in Devonport, the most important thing you can't miss is the Bass Strait Sailing Center. Located at the mouth of the Mersey River, it is like a treasure trove of time, cherishing the natural and cultural history of the Bass Strait. Entering the center, interactive exhibitions, detailed information panels and precious cultural relics tell the past and present of the Strait. Here, you can truly feel the magnificent historical picture of the Bass Strait. You can also drive a century-old ship 🚢 into the Mersey River or Melbourne's Port Phillip Bay in a simulated experience to experience the excitement and challenge of sailing back then. The newly restored Julie Burgess ketch⛵ outside the center will set sail regularly from October to June of the following year, leading people to the Bass Strait to pursue the stories of that mysterious sea. Stroll along the Devonport seaside [Bicycle] trail, the sea breeze caresses your face, bringing you the unique scent of the sea. Not far away, the candy-striped Mersey Bluff Lighthouse is particularly eye-catching. This lighthouse [Tokyo Tower] built in 1889 stands at the northern tip of the peninsula and has witnessed the coming and going of countless ships. It is not only a beacon guiding sailors, but also a witness to the history of this city. If you are lucky, you can also see little kangaroos jumping in the bushes, adding a bit of vitality to this beach. Continue walking west from the lighthouse and you will arrive at Bluff Beach [Island] which is covered with reefs. When the tide is low, the reefs are exposed above the water in various shapes, like works of art carefully carved by nature. If you want to experience a retro journey, the Tanghe Railway is definitely not to be missed. The railway dates back to 1916 and once connected the mouth of the Don River to Palona in the southwest. Today, a 3-kilometer-long section of the railway has been converted into a tourist route, operating every Wednesday to Sunday. Take a ride on a 1940s vintage carriage [Station], pulled by a steam or diesel locomotive, and slowly travel along the banks of the Don River, enjoying picturesque scenery along the way. At the railway station, you can also visit the restoration workshop, signal room and small museum [Mosque] to learn the stories behind the railway and feel the sedimentation of history. Devonport is also a paradise for gourmet food and fine wine. Explore the unique flavours of north-west Tasmania along the wine tasting trails. The Spreton Apple Brewery is full of fruity aroma. The cider here is brewed with traditional apples and has a mellow taste. There are also special drinks such as ginger beer and soft ginger beer. The scenic Ghost Rock Winery [GreatWall] in the east allows you to enjoy the sea view [Island] in the distance while tasting fine wine, which is refreshing. As for the Wilderness Distillery south of the city, gin is its signature drink, brewed with local Tasmanian plants, exuding a unique aroma that is endlessly memorable. The recommended restaurant is "prem's seafood bar & grill"! Outside the city, Devonport is the gateway to Tasmania's magnificent natural scenery. Cradle Mountain, not far from here, is one of the most famous mountains in Tasmania [Mount Fuji] and a masterpiece of nature. It is about an hour and a half drive from Devonport, and the scenery along the way is picturesque, with rolling hills and dense forests. Coming to Cradle Mountain is like being in a paradise. Although the journey is a little long, once you reach the top, you can see the mountains, rivers and lakes. The shocking scenery is unforgettable. Here, you will also have the opportunity to see wild animals such as wombats, echidnas and kangaroos, which live freely in this natural paradise. In Devonport, Tasmania, every encounter is a beautiful encounter, and every journey is full of surprises and touches. It is like an unpolished jade, emitting a simple and charming brilliance [Glister], waiting for more people to discover and explore.
