Devonport
Tasmania's third largest city and popular holiday destination,
Devonport is the gateway to the island state, situated as it is in
the centre of the north coast, at the mouth of the Mersey River.
Devonport is the point of arrival for car ferries from the mainland
and it also welcomes holiday visitors at its modern airport. The
city is three hours by road from Hobart on the Midlands Highway.
Devonport has a number of attractions for tourists on holiday,
including aboriginal rock engravings, a maritime museum and a
cycle/walking track which extends around the picturesque foreshore
from the city, past the Olympic Swimming Pool to the historic Don
River Railway, which operates vintage and steam trains. Devonport's
central location makes it an ideal base for discovering the
wilderness experiences of northwest Tasmania, especially the Mt
Cradle National Park.

Money
The Australian Dollar (AUD) is divided into 100 cents. Banks and
bureaux de change exchange most foreign currencies. Travellers
cheques are also welcome everywhere, but banks take a small
commission and it is better to take cheques in major currencies
(e.g. US dollars or Euros) to avoid additional charges. Credit
cards are widely accepted and ATMs are freely available throughout
the country. Banking hours are generally 9.30am to 4pm Monday to
Thursday, and 9.30am to 5pm on Friday, but some banks offer
extended hours and some are open on Saturday mornings.
