An elegantly laid-back city in the north of Tasmania, Launceston is the perfect place to start your Tasmanian holiday. Less than an hour from the beach, bush or mountains, it’s the perfect base camp to explore the wonders of Northern Tasmania.With the best collection of 19th century architecture in Australia, Launceston is a city of contrasts where modern marinas and sleek restaurants meet graceful Georgian and Victorian streetscapes. One of the most serene and interesting ways to experience Launceston is to walk it.

The city centre is compact and easy to navigate. A 15 minute walk from Launceston’s CBD will find you exploring the famous Cataract Gorge Reserve – a stunning piece of natural wilderness right in the heart of the city. Shopping in Launceston is a must, with the city boasting boutiques, gourmet delis, gift shops and homeware stores.

If you have an apetite for sport, catch an AFL game at Aurora Stadium, the Hawthorn Football Club’s second home. Or enjoy a few laps and some great views of the city at the Launceston Aquatic Centre.

The Queen Victoria Museum and Art Gallery at Royal Park showcases one of Australia’s best collections of

fine and decorative arts, and embraces the beauty of the iconic building it resides in.

Flying over Launceston, Tamar and the north, it’s plain to see how important agriculture is to the local economy, with a patchwork of paddocks and vineyards, and luscious river valleys extending into the distance.

The state’s most lauded wine route lies within the picturesque Tamar Valley. Boasting 3 distinct regions and 32 wineries, your palate won’t be disappointed by the choice available here. Alternatively, you can take a river cruise down the beautiful Tamar River, which winds 58 kilometres through the fecund valley.

The Great Western Tiers, situated south west of Launceston, is unique in its topography, history and spirituality. Kooparoona Niara is the Aboriginal name for this area and it’s a place where visitors can feel at one with the natural beauty and serenity that it exudes.

Enjoy your visit to Greater Launceston.

HeritageHistoryand

Launceston

The best way to explore the heritage of Launceston is by foot, taking you past many architectural wonders that date back to early colonial times.Take a stroll down to Albert Hall, one of Launceston’s most significant heritage sites, to marvel at its ornate architecture. Located at 45 Tamar Street, Albert Hall was built by J.T Farmils in 1891 and, today, hosts a number of exhibitions and conferences for which it was originally built.

Take a wonderful journey of discovery through one of Launceston’s three Heritage Walks. All walks start at the Civic Square near the Launceston Town Hall and are fully wheelchair accessible. Follow the orange trail for the Merchants Machinery walk, which used to be the industrial epicentre of Tasmania (70 mins return); follow the pink trail for the Rags to Riches trail showcasing commerce buildings and churches (90 mins return); and follow the blue trail for the Government to Gorge walk to further explore the architectural wonders of Launceston (30 mins return).

HERITAGE HIGHWAY The Heritage Highway Region is the historical heart of Tasmania. Explore the antique shops and the acclaimed National Rose Garden at Longford. Visit some of Tasmania’s finest rural estates such as Woolmers and Brickendon, also at Longford, which are World Heritage listed, and Clarendon House at Evandale. You can enjoy exceptional trout fishing on the Macquarie River at Cressy, Longford and Campbell Town, and savour award-winning gourmet sauces at Evandale and leatherwood honey at Perth. Solve a local crime at Longford, Ross or Oatlands, or look out around Oatlands and Kempton for Tasmanian tigers, emus and horse-drawn carriages.

For more information on the Heritage Highway region, please visit www.heritagehighway.com.au.

Cataract Gorge ReserveLaunceston’s undisputed natural masterpiece is the breathtaking Cataract Gorge Reserve, just a 15 minute walk from the CBD. A startling contrast to the busy city environment, the Gorge’s rugged dolerite cliffs and native vegetation suggest a location somewhere much wilder.

• Try the Kings Bridge walk, the Cataract Trail to the Basin or, if you’re feeling a little more energetic, take the Zig Zag Track.

• Enjoy local produce at the Gorge Restaurant or the Basin Café right in the heart of the Gorge.

• For spectacular views, take the iconic chairlift trip across the Gorge or the river at the swinging suspension bridge.

• In summer, take a dip in the free outdoor pool.

• For the truly adventurous, the cliffs in the Cataract Gorge Reserve are perfect for rock climbing and abseiling.

• See the Gorge from a different perspective – the river! Take a Tamar River Cruise.

• Cruise from the Seaport into the mouth of the Gorge.

For more information on the Gorge, visit www.visitlauncestontamar.com.au.

Launceston

The Tamar River meanders for fifty-eight kilometres through the fertile Tamar Valley, from the boutique-chic city of Launceston to the turquoise sea and diamond sands of Bass Strait. To truly appreciate the magnificent landscape that shapes the Tamar, be sure to take a river cruise during your visit.

Essential stops in the region are dotted both east and west of the Tamar. On the east Tamar, don’t miss the

Pilot Station at Low Head - a historically classified town and popular holiday spot for locals. The Pilot Station was built by convicts in 1805 and includes ten rooms of memorabilia. The rich maritime heritage of the Tamar Valley is also evident in the present lighthouse, built in 1888, which provides magnificent views of the Tamar River. Low Head is located just over 50 kilometres north east of Launceston. Simply follow the East Tamar Highway and follow the signs to Low Head.
