Overview

Somerset is a small township west of Burnie, with 4,067 residents (2021). It sits on the Cam River estuary, boasts a beach, three parks with playgrounds, five sporting venues, and a coastal pathway linking to Burnie, Wynyard and Latrobe. Small businesses line the main street, and the suburb offers a variety of housing options within the Burnie‑Somerset urban area. Families have education choices through Somerset Primary School, the Burnie campus of Australian Christian College and nearby Seabrook Christian School, while media coverage includes The Advocate newspaper and all TV stations.

Bass Highway runs along the coast through Somerset, while Murchison Highway starts beside the Cam River, providing road links to West Coast. Metro Tasmania buses connect the town to Wynyard and Burnie, and Burnie Airport is a 15‑minute drive away in Wynyard. Although the historic railway station is gone, the existing rail corridor remains a feature of the landscape.
