Tasmania’s second city is often overshadowed by the state capital, Hobart. But Launceston in its own right is a place held in high regard by those in the know. With streets filled with elegant Victorian architecture, pretty parks, and spectacular scenery surrounding the city, Launceston has everything a traveller could want, and more.
The city was first settled by the British in 1806 and was once home to the Tasmanian tiger, which is now extinct, but still serves as the unofficial emblem of the city. Take time to enjoy this compact city and you’ll find a place where art and design thrives alongside a vibrant food and coffee scene.
The city’s surrounds are nothing short of stunning. A short 15-minute walk from the city centre will take you to Cataract Gorge. Here you’ll find an awe-inspiring valley with an impressive suspension bridge. If you feel like escaping the heat in the summertime, there’s a swimming pool where you can take a dip while taking in the views.
The gorge is also home to the world’s longest chairlift. Those brave enough to take a trip will be whisked over treetops and treated to breathtaking views of the bushland and river below.
With an array of locally produced gourmet food and award winning wineries along the Tamar River, food and wine connoisseurs will be spoilt for choice when exploring this rich, vibrant region of Australia.
Launceston has a whole host of enjoyable cultural and natural attractions for families and travellers alike.
Begin your trip with a hire car from Hertz for the easiest way to see it all.
