The names Mersey, Formby and Torquay hark back to England but Devonport in Tasmania is busying cultivating its own distinct history. Situated on the Bass Strait it has long been the gateway to Tasmania and currently the Spirit of Tasmania ferry arrives every morning from its new mainland home of Corio Quay, Geelong.
This film takes you to the Mersey Bluff lighthouse, the Don River Railway, the Maritime Museum, the Art Gallery and the Tasmanian Arboretum. It's a long drive south to Hobart I'd recommend taking the time to enjoy the pleasures of Devonport.

Filmed November 2022
