Wynyard

"A friendly cosy little town great for families and retirees"

Firstly it is on the estuary of the Inglis River so is terrific for fishing, water sports, jet skiing and canoeing. Secondly it is surrounded by seacliffs and beaches to the north and rural & wilderness on the other sides. It swarms with walking trails from riverside boardwalks to rough mountain hikes in the hinterland. It is very safe except in the hight of summer when tiger snakes may be encountered in the bush areas. October is the time to visit for the town is ablaze with spring blossom, especially nearby Table Cape which featured better tulip fields than Holland (or at least nearer and cheaper!). During the Tulip Festival there are carnival events and you can walk freely in the tulip fields to marvel at the glorious colours.
Wynyard is a super place for retirees as the township is on flat land and all is elderly friendly. There is a profusion of activities for older citizens - over 100 regular hobbies, clubs, games and interests. Work can be found in nearby towns such as Burnie and the children are well catered for with all levels of child care and schooling. Teens keep busy with skate park, scuba diving, water activities, riding and biking. There is some minor vandalism but almost no crime.
