Devonport (pop ~24,000), the largest city on Tasmania's north-west coast, is approximately one hours drive from Launceston.
Historic buildings in the Devonport area range from workers cottages to the stately Home Hill, former residence of Australia's only Tasmanian Prime Minister, Joseph Lyons. Home Hill is classified by the National Trust. Devonport's maritime history is celebrated at the Maritime Museum, which features a large collection of model ships. Devonport's seafaring connection continues today through the Spirit of Tasmania, the only passenger ferry operating across Bass Strait.
