Settlement within East Devonport dates from the 1850s when the area east of the Mersey River became known as Torquay. Growth within the area started taking place from the late 1800s and continued into the early 1900s. Victoria Bridge opened in 1901, further linking the area to the township on the western side of the Mersey River. The area east of the Mersey River then became known as East Devonport.Today, East Devonport is a combination of residential, industrial and rural areas, with some commercial land use. Rural land is used largely for agriculture. Devonport Port is situated in East Devonport and is home of the Spirit of Tasmania Ferry Terminal. Other features of the area include East Devonport Recreation Centre, Mersey Yacht Club, East Devonport Beach and East Devonport Beach Coastal Reserve. There are many reserves to explore and the Eastern Foreshore Heritage Walk is not to be missed. As part of Devonport City, there are endless events and attractions to be explored.Tourist/Visitor Information Centre        Paranaple Arts Centre, 145 Rooke St, DevonportPh: 03 6420 2900www.visitdevonport.com.au.Casual Parking       Murray St, East Devonport Parking 300m east of Ferry TerminalShort Term Parking           Girdlestone Park, John St East Devonport self-contained vehicles only, $10 pvpn permit required, 72hrs, pets on lead, mobile coverage, bins, toilets, waterDump Point  Girdlestone Park, John St East Devonport Lat: -41.1864 Long: 146.3802Potable Water          Girdlestone Park, John St East DevonportHospital        Nearest hospital is at Latrobe, Torquay Rd, Ph: 03 6426 5111Doctors Surgery     East Devonport Medical Centre, Stephen St, Ph: 03 6427 9111Dentist           Many in areaPharmacy     Please do own local search as too many to listSupermarket            Foodworks, Tarleton St, IGA, Wright St  

Griffith is a rich blend of cultures and traditions and has a vibrant, cosmopolitan lifestyle more like a European city than one located in central New South Wales. The city’s unmistakable Italian heritage lives on in its passion for food and wine. The main street is speckled by street cafe’s and delicatessens that offer a wide selection of locally-made produce. Griffith also boasts a fun-packed calendar of events that encompasses everything from food, wine, gardens and multicultural festivals and events.The city is complemented by wide tree lined streets and radial patterns which are synonymous with Walter Burley Griffin and the city of Canberra. The region is the traditional land of the Wiradjuri people with the city and the surrounding region being developed with the onset of irrigation by soldier settlers and later on by Italian migrants.The region is a delight to travel around with the vibrant colours reflecting the different seasons. Set amongst a fertile backdrop of vineyards, orchards and farms, it’s hard to believe that the Griffith region was dismissed as being ‘uninhabitable’. Now a veritable oasis, thanks to the development of the Murrumbidgee Irrigation Area in the early 1900s, the region is part of the largest food bowl of Australia.Griffith is also home to some of Australia’s prominent premium wineries such as McWilliam’s, De Bortoli, Casella, West End, Nugan and Warburn to name a few and is now one of Australia’s largest wine producing regions. Many are still family owned and enjoy an Italian heritage with centuries old winemaking traditions and a philosophy of enjoying good wine and good food with family and friends as a celebration of life.With friendly locals and a relaxed lifestyle, we welcome you to come and enjoy the many unique experiences, events and attractions Griffith offers.Tourist/Visitor Information CentreGriffith VIC, cnr Banna Ave & Jondaryn Ave, Griffith NSWPh: 1800 681 141Email: visitgriffith@griffith.com.auwww.visitgriffith.com.auCasual Parking (near retail centre)Two dedicated parking zones. 1.
