It lies 40.4 km west-north-west of Devonport, TAS (from Devonport, TAS: bearing 290°T), and is situated 1.3 km west-north-west of Burnie. The air here carries a distinct tang of salt, a constant whisper from the nearby coastline, mingling with the earthy scent of damp soil and the subtle sweetness of eucalypts. Broad swathes of green, a patchwork of pastures and woodland, stretch towards the horizon, broken occasionally by the darker silhouettes of distant forestry plantations. The light, particularly in the late afternoon, possesses a gentle luminescence, bathing the land in a warm, diffused glow that seems to slow the very pace of the day, inviting a quiet contemplation of the surrounding, unhurried beauty.
This corner of Burnie’s embrace has long been a place of quiet industry, its character forged in the hard graft of farming and the steady extraction of the earth’s bounty. Historically, the land was cleared for grazing, its fertile pockets supporting livestock that have sustained generations of families. More recently, the rise of forestry has introduced a different rhythm, a cycle of planting and harvesting that shapes the visual character of the surrounding hillsides. While not a bustling hub, Parklands offers a distinct sense of place, a locality where the enduring connection to the land is palpable, a quiet testament to the people who have worked and lived here, their stories woven into the very fabric of this coastal fringe.
