Don is a western suburb of Devonport and, not surprisingly, Don Road leads to Don from central Devonport. The photo added to the Gallery is a composite image showing the sign at western entrance to Don and a Don Road sign at the eastern entrance. The coordinates are for the Don Road sign. Don was one of the first settlements in North West Tasmania as it had a small but navigable river. However over a short period of time, timber exports increased significantly which led to the Mersey River at Formby and Torquay being opened up to shipping. The twin settlements of Formby and Torquay were combined to become Devonport and the latter expanded quickly and over time, Don became a suburb of Devonport. Thanks for the cache Doodle Bug Oz.
