Hi, just looking for a bit more info on Burnie/Devonport Subs, hoping to move in next couple of months, like the look of Ulverston so far,

Stony Rise - Devonport
Ambleside - Devonport
Parklands - Burnie
Park Grove - Burnie
Shorewell Park - Burnie
Brooklyn - Burnie
Thanks

All small Australian Country towns of say less than 50,000 people basically only have the amenities you are after right in the centre of town.
I've not been to Burnie or Devonport yet..... However even Hobart I wouldn't live anywhere other than very very close in. Same goes with every Australian rural town I've seen in my 38 years here. I certainly wouldn't consider Launceston unless I was within 5 mins walk of the CBD. Burnie and Devenport are much much smaller than those places.
Definitely rent for a minimum of 6 months first is my best advice. Reason being your looking at the likelyhood of choosing a place quieter than you've experienced living in your life. Unless you've spent a chunk of time in the deepest Welsh Valleys.

Re: Burnie/Devonport Suburbs
I have never been to Devonport but I did work in Burnie for two weeks. There is a pub, a hotel/motel, a few cafes, a handful of shops but that's about all. It's not the kind of place I would like to live, but I am sure there are hundreds of residents there who love it.
What I did like about it was in a cafe I went into, when I ordered a burger they asked if I wanted salad on it as it has to be ordered as an add-on - Saves the trouble of taking it off if you are a lettuce dodger and saves a dollar Also a local took me to the 'best fish and chip shop' in the area, which was a petrol station and general store just out of town.
Sorry not much help to you, but brought back some memories for me.
