Walking Tracks and Trails

Oldaker Falls is a small urban waterfall located in the Burnie Park. This beautiful park also has magnificent facilities, amphitheater, playgrounds, gardens and lawns and a lovely walk encircles the park at just under 1km.  

The Burnie Coastal Pathway is a shared path network currently extending from Cooee Red Rock, around the perimeter of the CBD, and through to the Emu River South Burnie/Wivenhoe.

The Pulp Paper Trail (pictured) makes up part of the Coastal Pathway on the foreshore at South Burnie.

Opposite the remains of the historic paper mill this interpretive walk was designed to honour the men and women who worked at Burnie’s pulp and paper mill between 1937 and 2010.

Romaine Reserve features a shared fitness track that winds around the dam following Romaine Creek, starting from either Swanston street or the carpark at Amanda Court Romaine, through to Mount Street/Singline Avenue. 

View Road Reserve consists of shared unpaved paths and walkways that weave through the Reserve from View Road West Park Grove, through to Thorne street. 

Fernglade Reserve is also connected by a shared path, from Wivenhoe beach along Old Surrey Road and Fernglade road and through the reserve.  For those looking for a longer walk the trail continues on past the Fernglade Reserve lookout and up to Rutherfords Road return.  

Guide Falls is a 20min drive from Burnie. Take the easy 10-minute walk to the base of the waterfalls.  Climb the steep stairs to the viewing platform for a birds-eye view of the falls.
