Stop 15 The Old Burnie Wharf
Burnie's port was one of the State's main gateways for products in and out of Tasmania, and still is to this day. The key export was potatoes until Burnie's industrial expansion in the 1930s. At times there were in excess of 25,000 bags of potatoes awaiting loading at the wharf.
