Introducing Devonport
Visitors to Devonport, Tassie’s third-largest city, are usually coming or going rather than staying. The Spirit of Tasmania Bass Strait ferry arrives from Melbourne every morning, performing a deft 180-degree pirouette in the Mersey River before sailing off again at night. Locals line the riverbanks to watch, wave and imagine places elsewhere and more interesting. Actually keeping tourists (and their money) here seems a challenge too large. Devonport remains a sedentary, mildly menacing place: speeding rednecks yell, ‘FUCK OFF!’ at unsuspecting pedestrians, and the McDonald’s drive-thru is the place to be on a Saturday night.
