The Pulp Paper Trail

This is an ON LEASH ONLY walk.

Located on the foreshore at Burnie, opposite where the remains of the paper mill stand is an interpretive walk, The Pulp Paper Trail.

The Pulp Paper Trail was designed to honour the men and women who came from and to the North West Coast of Tasmania to work at Burnie’s pulp and paper mill between the years of 1937 and 2010. Slowly the historic paper mill is being demolished. Locally known as ‘The Pulp’, the mill was a dominant part of both the life and the landscape of Burnie for almost three quarters of a century. At its peak, The Pulp employed around 3,600 people.

The history of the mill is also a major part of the history of Burnie itself and this 600 metre long path, The Pulp Paper Trail, tells the story
