We visited Burnie as a stop off from our Virgin Voyages cruise.
We were met on our bus by a very solid and friendly Mayor of Burnie who welcomed us to her City.
Next we ventured through the markets for our pickup.
Our guide Rosie was a gem, so much knowledge, warmth and excitement for her city.
Our first stop was The Lookout, which had wonderful views of the bay and docks.
Short drive took us to a small waterfall, were you could walk the trail or stay on the bus.
Next we visited the superb beauty of The Rhododendron Gardens.
This garden is maintained and run by various who started off 40 years ago.
The gardens are tranquil, with lots of amazing spaces and plant species.
They also serve Devonshire Tea.
Just be aware there are hills and gravel paths to navigate.
The last stop on this tour was The Musuem, but we chose not to go in.
All in all a nice snapshot of Burnie if you have limited time.
