Smithton Freight Services

Smithton is about 90 minutes west of Burnie along the Bass Highway — the furthest substantial town on Tasmania's north-west coast before the road turns toward the Tarkine. That extra leg means freight is generally run daily rather than multiple times a day, so QFM plans Smithton loads around scheduled Circular Head runs.

Mainland freight arrives via Devonport (Bass Strait ferry) or the Port of Burnie, then travels west on the Bass Highway through Wynyard and Stanley access points into Smithton. Melbourne is the most common mainland origin for QFM Circular Head freight.

Smithton's local economy includes small-business trades, retail, agricultural-services suppliers (supporting dry goods and equipment, not produce) and industrial operators. QFM manages commercial pallet and crate loads — hardware, machinery parts, retail stock and household freight into far NW Tasmania.

Freight can be on-forwarded to Stanley, Wynyard, Marrawah, Arthur River and the Tarkine-edge communities through our carrier network — trade, retail and household supply across the far NW Tasmania Circular Head catchment, subject to scheduled run availability.
