(Over two days of 29 & 30th of
December each year.)
Location: Devonport Oval
Closing Date: 24th November 2012
Photos & Results Day 1 Photos & Results Day 2
 Devonport Carnival is the biggest carnival of the "Big Three"
Christmas Carnivals in terms of crowd numbers and athletes entered
although Burnie still offers more Prize money. This has been brought
about by an energetic Committee with plenty of vision who have
endeavored to attract elite athletes and other attractions to their
Carnival such Pole vaulting, Fire eating and balancing acts. Devonport
is the only carnival that has equal money for men and women.
Devonport is on the central north coast of Tasmania and is the
sea-road connection with the mainland with its own airport and
community bus services. The Devonport Visitor Centre caters for all
visitor needs and can be contacted on (03) 6424 4466 or e-mail tourism@devonport.tas.gov.au
