Ferry gateway to northern Tasmania
Devonport is a city on the north coast of Tasmania at the mouth of the Mersey River, with a regional airport and a port that is the Tasmanian terminal for the Spirit of Tasmania ferry to the mainland. It is a common arrival point for road trips into the state.
Devonport grew from two settlements on either side of the Mersey that merged in the early 20th century. Its port has long handled agricultural exports from Tasmania's fertile north.
