We decided to skip tours and go into town – maybe a mistake as we heard lots of good things about the Burnie tours. When we got off the ship, the mayor and his wife were waiting to greet and welcome us. |

We took the free shuttle bus into town. We went through their art gallery and checked out their stores. K-Mart was their biggest shopping center and was located in a below-ground mall. |
|
The homes were built on the steep hillside surrounding the town. The economy in Burnie was having a difficult time since the paper mill closed and they welcomed the dollars our cruise ship brought to their economy. When our ship left, they had bagpipers playing on the dock. |
