The north west of Tasmania is a region that blends farming, mining and forestry activities with the rugged scenic beauty of the State's coastlines, the splendour of magnificent rain forests and urban living.  The north west is dotted with charming and old-world townships including the coastal towns of Devonport, Burnie, Ulverstone, Penguin, Stanley, Smithton, Wynyard and Marrawah; the west coast towns of Rosebery, Warratah, Tullah and Zeehan and the inland towns of Sheffield, Deloraine, Latrobe and Railton.
